    In short (With Home): No.

    Disable Simple filesharing, encrypt anything sensitive, and don't share anything sensitive unless you must and then remove it..and make a tinfoil hat for your computer..

    you could use an ftp program to share files too.

    BTW: thin foil hats can actually increase the amount the amount of radiation you recieve around 1GHz
