wireless networking precaution

Wi-fi is a great tool to use. I don't know how we survived without it. All major businesses, homes and newer devices have wi-fi. The issue that rises with this great tool is its security. If you do not possess the proper tools to protect it your personnel information is automatically at risk.

The best way to protect our computer when you have Wi-Fi is to make sure that you have an up-to-date antivirus program installed on your computer. Most anti-virus software will automatically scan your computer to check for any possible threats or viruses. By enabling a WEP or WPA you can help prevent any intruders from accessing your computer and installing a virus or worm on it. This is very important for wireless internet users as any half-way decent hacker can use your Wi-Fi connection to get into your computer.
