    if you have a router, make it a security enabled system, that way people can’t use your internet without a password.

    No McCaffees won’t do it for ou.

    Dial into your router and turn on the WEP encryption feature. You will need to choose a pass word.

    When connecting to your WIFI, the router will ask for the pass code. you have it so you can use it, the freeloaders, of course, won’t have it and they will be stopped cold.
