3 ways to secure your Internet connection

1) Make sure you have a firewall installed. Many are free and Microsoft includes a free firewall with their newer operating systems

2) Use network monitoring software to see what is going in/out of your network. Again there are many free options out there

3) Have fun! Try to crack your wireless password to see if someone sitting outside of your home can do the same.
