Security - March 2007

Ok so I just read that some kid in Singapore is going to be fined because of tapping into somebody's unsecured wireless network.
Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? I mean seriously, if people didn't want other people tapping into their network, they should just get a secured network!

I'm under 16, and this random guy added me on MSN. He started talking to me, and he told me that he was 28 and lived in New Jersey. Then he asked me if I had a boyfriend, and I told him no. He then wanted me to be his girlfriend, but I said it was illegal and wrong. He then said that he wanted to be friends, but with benefits. I told him no again. He then said some disgusting stuff that I don't want to repeat on here. Is this guy dangerous?

On doing a security test i found two (hacktools) on one disc i have checked on them with Norton security system and they are a very low risk. One is the disc safe to use two would it be safe to use if i was not connected to the internet

i have a pop up blocker on and it works but a page from trendmicrosecurity keeps trying to pop up and it is nearly as annoying removing the pop up blocked notification as it is the pop up itself . i know i can turn off the notification warning but then i would not as easily know when a page i did want to see was blocked . what ye think?

how do I stop this person from receiving adult-rated photos, pix and movie clips on my computer . He uses his own mailbox but this is still my computer. Is there any way I can block these things without him knowing it. I would not want anyone else here to stumble onto them.
