Good Afternoon Everyone,
My boss is using a Dell Laptop with WinXP SP2. When he's travelling around
in different locations, he notices that sometimes he can access other
people's wireless connection. It will either say secure or non-secure. Some
of the networks he can get on and gain access to the internet and some he
can't. He's concerned if someone nearby can access his wireless connection
at his house? I have the Windows Firewall running but it does allow some
exceptions, IE Explorer, and a few others.
Should I purchase a 3rd party software to make it secure or are we ok with
WinXP SP2 and the Windows Firewall? Please advise.
Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
