now my pc is firewalled and has antivirus so hopefully that will keep people from doing things they shouldnt...


is there anything else i should do to keep my laptop safe? (apart form encypt the network becuase that would defy the point)

also is the router itself in any danger? < even if someone did somehow guess my password for it could they do any damage to it?
Why don't you make the password something no-one will ever guess? Eliminate that worry.......
