[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 523182, member: 18605"] Unless they are particularly brilliant at hacking it is very unlikely that they can access your files. What they can do is leech your broadband connection, and they could be using it for any activity they wanted and no-one would know. You could be blamed for illegal actions you knew nothing about. Setting up a WEP password is easy, and though not the most secure, it is way better than nothing. Look in the manual or online at your routers set up proceedure, and it should explain it in there. If not, let us know what router you have and we'll see what we can do. You can get a WEP key generator at [url]www.versiontracker.com[/url]. [/QUOTE]
