If for some reason you want to keep your wireless network open but don’t want unauthorised users connecting to your Wi-Fi, Digital Inspiration offers an ingenious tip: rename your network something most people will not likely connect to, like c:\virus.exe.Of course, the best practice for wireless security is to set up a password for your network with WPA2 encryption.
