I have a wireless internet connection and would like to know how can I tell if it is secure.
I am bothered about outsiders getting access to my details e.g. bank stuff etc.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.

Do you have to have a pass code to access the internet ?

Do you have a firewall on your computer, do you leave your computer turned on 24 hours a day

With that said, not security is 100 percent, it all depends on how bad they want in and how good they are at doing it

No password to access the internet as far as I know I just click on 'internet' in the start menu and although I spend a lot of time on the computer it is not on 20 hours.
What lines were you thinking along... vin

If you are serious about security I think this site should help
