An unpatched or inadequately patched Windows computer can get infected literally within seconds of being put on the internet. I run an ISP and see it happen regularly with customers. Doesn't matter if it's dialup or broadband, but it seems the infection happens quicker with broadband.
Lots of people can't even get a fresh install of XP to download the necessary windows updates before the computer gets infected and screwed up with worms.
Any cheap broadband firewall will stop other people from getting to your computer over the network connection. software updates should still be done though, since simply typing a bad address in IE or opening an email can bring havoc on an inadequetly updated computer.
