Hey Tina,

     I think that it depends on how it is configured. It appears that it
needs to be configured through
group policy menu to require 128bit encryption. Even with that done to
ensure reasonable security
the only way to  protect against man-in-the-middle attacks is to tunnel over
ssh. puTTY might be an
option there.

Here is a neato link that discusses the encryption info and has a link to
ssh tunneling.
