Accessing the Internet is a security risk.
When you are connected to the Internet, an IP address is used to identify your computer. If you don't protect yourself, this IP address can be used to access your computer from the outside world.
A fixed IP address is a larger security risk.
If you're using a modem with a dial-up connection, you will get a new IP address every time you connect to Internet.
With an ADSL or cable connection users sometimes keep the same IP address for several months, this represents an increased security risk.
If you have a fixed IP address, you give Internet hackers all the time they need to search for entrances on your computer, and to store and share (with other hackers) information they find on your computer
