Windows Vista safety behind NAT firewall

Hi All,


I have a Windows Vista laptop, that I use to download data from my weather station, and then update my weather web site via FTP. Other than having AVAST free antivirus, no other software(as far as I am aware) access the Internet.


My Windows Vista installation(updated until MS stopped releasing patches) has no added software other than AVAST and Cumulus (v1.94 - SandaySoft downloads).


Am safe having Windows Vista on my network? Since its a old OS, am I vulnerable external attacks?


I don't use the laptop to surf the net.... just download data from my weather station and upload it to a FTP site.
