Hi

As more people use laptops for their primary work PCs, the chances for being compromised because of wireless miscreants loom large. Here are 10 how-to tips to protect yourself and make the best use of a wireless network, whether you are at home, at work, or in between.

1. Make sure you are connecting to the right network.

Although this sounds sort of obvious, I've noticed in my travels that there are lots of unscrupulous people who purposely name their wireless connection "Linksys," or some other common vendor's name, in hopes of getting someone who is less than careful to connect to them. The security industry calls these sorts of conditions "evil twins."

2. Secure your connection.

This next tip is for your own home-based wireless network. If you don't mind having all your neighbors share your wireless connection, then just ignore this tip and keep your access point running unsecured.

thanks

If you are using default windows firewall and think you are secure, than think again. The fact is most of Trojan and spies when binned with latest binder are efficient enough to dodge your latest and updated anti-virus. Firewall comes in handy to block such program to opening any Internet connection. There are plenty of free firewall to choose among. Secure the network by setting strong passwords. Set the ability to remotely lock down or wipe the laptop if the user repeatedly fails to enter the correct password. Encrypt the data on the laptop so that it cannot be read without the correct key. The encryption should take place on the hard disk in case the hard disk is removed and installed in a different device.
