If my network (wireless) is not secured can someone get into my computer? If so how do they do it?

well if they are on your network, they can usually do a search for nearby computers and might find yours. but then they only can see the shared folders. so if you don't share your computer or any folders on there, you will be good. they would be a fancy hacker to get in. so make sure you have a firewall in place and lots of anti-virus. if i were you, i would set up at least a password on your router. good luck!

Sure if its open. Set the security up on the router, change the SSID and do not broadcast it. I like setting MAC filters, so only the systems I know can connect.

Yes they can. I will not disclose how because it only helps people do this thing.
Secure your network and kick off the freeloaders and hackers.
