How to make a WAMP server secure. Is it possible? [closed]

Question

Yesterday I setup a localhost on my network, and now am working on making it a public website. I read that self-hosting a website with WAMP can be very insecure, and poses high security risks. Is this true? How would I make my WAMP server secure? I currently have Windows Vista (most recent service pack), Kaspersky Pure 3.0, and WAMP 2.2.
If you could please post a solution, or tips on keeping my self-hosted website secure, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

WAMP is not meant for production IMO and if you're hosting it from home it will be terrible slow. As for security concerns, WAMP has error reporting on by default, mysql has no password and the user "root" should be changed. phpmyadmin and sqlbuddy is accessible everywhere, you could limit it to a specific IP. This is as far I can tell for the moment. – Arquebus
