I got the same message.
As long as you PATCH WINDOWS (yes, even you mr. "I'll stick with XP SP1 because SP2 breaks shit" or mr. "SP3 uses more resources then SP2!") (Both are utter BS btw...) and has your antivirus up, you should be fine. I'm note sure how nasty Conficker is when it comes to port scanning, but you might want to lock down any ports on your router that you're not using.
Most people around here an generally smart with computers. But things like open wifi would be a BAD idea. I'll do some research later on what people are expecting...
