Since I moved into the neighborhood. I have not seen any wireless network other than my wireless network. Yes, if someone with notepad or cell phone they "might' connected into my network.

Was away the whole day and was dead tired, picking the ones more in tune with my problems. I am sure, 99.9% my computer is virus free. I am thinking and planning how to get myself unblock and have since download Kaspersky security software, provided free by Surewest and have not install it. The more software's installed/removed will further slow down my laptop and add additional problems. Will format and clean install XP Pro, only after I have solve this problems and know how to config the wireless ADSL modem. Otherwise I will be unable to go online. That will be a disaster! Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate it. It take time for me to reply and my grammar suck. Will go back and see if I can provided more information. :-)

I did exactly what you suggested. Found nothing. I am pretty sure I had removed any Trojans, Worms or whatever. To be sure I will clean install XP Pro again after I find out from my ISP how to setup the wireless ADSL. Thanks.

It's not the presence of a wireless network but other the presence of other computers that matters. Check the web page for your router, 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is. Look under the wireless section or the DHCP section depending on the kind of web page your router presents, and see if there are other computers hooked up that you don't know about. The fact that it took your ISP forever to hook you up may mean that others have tried and given up and may be using your router instead. Best thing to do is to turn on the encryption. I usually recommend using a phone number as the key because it's easy to remember and hard for others to guess.

I called my ISP and I waiting for >their finding. If your computer is clean then it's likely someone using wireless on your router. As I said in another post, go to the router's web page and take a look around. You should see your computer listed, and you might see others. Regardless, turn on the encryption on your router!

I've seen your name on the MBAM forums but I don't recall ever seeing you post there that you were employed by them. You could have told me that the first time around. I defer to your judgment. |
