Many people these days have a wireless Internet. It is quite a useful thing: if you have a laptop, you can travel all over your house and work and surf relaxed on your couch rather crunched up on your cramped keyboard. It is always useful too if you are entertaining guests and only have one home computer, and they have brought their laptop. This allows them to use their own system and you don’t have to let someone browse and possibly snoop all over your computer.
There are guests you want and there are guests that were uninvited. Your wireless Internet means that it can be scanned and picked up by anyone with a wireless detecting system, which comes standard on every laptop and computer. This means that anyone with an Internet connection can potentially scan and get hooked up and surf from your Internet.
This could potentially be a problem. While there are some people who are totally honest and just using your Internet signal to get on the Internet real quick and send an e-mail, there are others who are have a more malicious intent. Beware of your neighbors; your signal can only be picked up from a small radius of your router, so no one from the other side of town will be hacking into your server, but your neighbors would be easily within range.
Again, your neighbors could simply just be sending a quick e-mail, but it would asinine to think that all neighbors or people getting access to your connection are this honest. Once they are connected to your signal, they have access to your IP address. If they got themselves banned from a site that you go on, most of the time this an IP ban. Since their IP is your IP because they are using your signal, you will be effectively blocked from the site as well. Also, by getting your IP, they could gain access to your documents, browsing history, and other sensitive information. Your IP address is a portal into your virtual life, and why it is public seems to be quite a strange thing. Try using an IP changer to hide your IP and remain anonymous online. There is also the possibility that the person on your signal is an experienced hacker and could actually hijack your communications from their post, and use your computer themselves. This would be a hacker’s dream; a buffet of information they could help themselves to.
There is no way to sense if there are interlopers using your Internet connection, except that maybe if both of you are on at the same time, it might seem a bit slower than normal. Also, you are paying an ISP a monthly fee for the services and Internet that they provide, and this other person is completely mooching off of you! This could make anyone indignant. There are ways to stop these people from getting into your Internet and possibly compromising your anonymity and anonymous browsing experience online.
Use a WEP key. When these hackers look around for Internet connections to use, they look for the “security strength: unsecured”. This means that the person’s Internet has no frills and will pose no risk if they connect to it. These are the guys they go after. They avoid any Internet signal that would say “WEP protected” or anything along those lines. These Internet connections are protected with a long password, often over 20 digits, to get in. When they try to connect, they will be prompted to put in the unique password, and will have no idea what it is, and will be denied access. Hacker thwarted! If they somehow do get your password, these WEP keys can be set up to send you alerts when someone new has connected, and if you get one, search the vicinity of your house or your neighbors to find the interloper.
Don’t go unprotected in this rapidly evolving world of technology. Hackers and online criminals prey on those who are unprotected and unsecured. Using a WEP key is a simple way to keep people off of your Internet connection and keep your documents and other Internet browsing safe and secure.

Business Advice
Action Tips is a site for any business person or entrepreneur doing business today. In such a rough economy like the one we are faced with today, these tips are needed to get by, as there are no signs that it will get better. This means that the old concept of Darwinism will be begin to resurface; only the strongest survive. Not the strongest in muscle, but the strongest in brains; who can sell their product to a wider demographic of customers and make the most money?
The site hosts many lessons and tutorials on how to do the most important thing a human can do in their lifetime; make money. To do this, they offer courses and tutorials that you can purchase to bolster your money smarts, and learn how to do more with what currency you already possess. These articles and guides are all ergonomically laid out and easy-to-navigate. Right off of the home page, you can see a list of all the most recent or greatest new articles, and in a thumbnail fashion where you get a little sample and if you like it you can click to see more, the articles that interest you may be selected.
When you click on an article that interests you, you will be brought to another site that hosts the information about the product themselves. This is a god-send for those who always want more information because the site that sells the product will always have more and always be willing to tell you more about it. Once you navigate to the new site, you can read in meticulous detail everything the product does, and often explore incredible deals! I saw one where it was a set of five books at five dollars each, but if purchased all together, it was only fifteen dollars in total, saving me ten dollars! The bottom line is, these money making books are an investment; they will pay for themselves and more in the long run if their ideas are applied.
There are always skeptics about these books, lectures, and other medium to communicate these money saving options through. They don’t think the books or the lectures will really help them at all, so they avoid these things like the plague. What they don’t realize though is that this site offers a fifty-six day minimum day money back guarantee. That is (AT MINIMUM!) fifty-six days to try out your product, listen to it, read it, and enjoy it. If you are unsatisfied whatsoever, the product can be returned for all of your cash back the same day you deliver the product back. Fifty-six days is a long time, and this way you don’t have to rush yourself into using your purchase immediately, as you would if it was only a weeklong guarantee.
When you first log on, you might be shocked or intimidated by the monolith of content the site offers. Don’t fear though! This only helps you. Just think about it, this site is coming to you with almost five years of content, experience, and trial to bring you the best products possible. Think about this: since the products are hand-picked by the site, after five years, this website knows what will work and what won’t. They won’t steer you wrong; they are here for you. You can peruse the first page or check the recent posts section to get an idea what has happened recently on the site. Or, you can view everything in bulk by clicking on the archives section. This will allow you to chronologically view every article from that month in the specific order. The categories section will allow you to narrow down your search to a specific topic that you are interested in. This is very useful when you are looking for a lot of information about one specific thing. For example, if you only want to find information about securing and keeping a successful job, the “employment” category would be where you would find your information. There is also the search bar, which can do a keyword search of the entire site and bring up all information about the words you typed in.
This site really is dedicated to you. They even have a whole section at the top of their page devoted to “helpful links” that point you in the right direction and are always pertinent to the business world. Video Tips is another useful section for those who do not have the time to read; you can simply watch and absorb the same information that you would read. If you are still skeptical after all of the offers, you can sign up and get one free course. This will allow you to test out the site and see if it is what you need, and give you a little sampling of the knowledge you could possess.
To get ahead of the pack, look no further than Action Tips. Following their advice through their money back guarantees and low prices will enable you to best your competition and make more money than you ever thought.
