Secure your wireless connection with passwords and shut of SSID broadcast which will keep windows from seeing your router.

Hehe, just wanted to give a personal example to maybe "scare" Katie into securing her connection, hey, if she is reading this right now I will come by and secure it for free. I am not sure about the current laws surrounding personal RF, but the fact that basically anywhere you go, even remote areas on the cape, and have access to an unsecured wireless internet connection is scary. Mark my words, the next major computer virus is going to be widespread released on someones unsecured wifi network.

Its the responsability of all the techincal savvy to offer their personal skills to secure the wifi connections of the less computer-fluent. If anyone wants help securing there's, pm me and I will personally come over and do it, if your more than 10 miles away a plug would be nice
