unsecured networks
 

i have a wireless router that we use in my house and my neighbor shares. To
be on the safe side, i know i should use a password. If you are using a
public wifi that doesn't require a password, how can you protect yourself
from being hacked into? Somewhere there is the option to turn off remote
assistance. Will this help? thanks.

Use a firewall. If you have XP then that one is usually adequate.
