I'm no expert (a friend usually does stuff like this for me) but i'm sure your wireless router should have instructions to follow, and search this site for helpful advice. Otherwise, i'm pretty sure anyone can hack any personal info (including credit cards numbers and bank details) and use them.
Yep, just read the manual - especially the section on using encryption. If you've not got the manual any more, you'll be able to download it from t'internet.

FWIW, use WPA rather than WEP, if your Wireless NIC supports it.
