When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit I chose HOME. I have Norton Internet Security 2013 installed. My PC uses ADSL Broadband connection. Should I change the Internet connection to "PUBLIC" (from the Network and Sharing Center) for added security or can I leave it as "HOME"? Adsl is treated as a LAN and my concern is that if set to HOME the PC is shared in the network?? Thanks

It wont get shared in the network, unless you tell it to. all it does is classif the connection as safe
