I think there are ways to secure your connection so that somebody else can't use it. But maybe somebody more experienced with this scenario can jump in.

Well,i dont use the wireless option ie connect to any wireless or local networks, just through my isp. But because im using a "dongle" i just wondered if it was secure. After all, all my stuff is going through airspace and not a cable.

Thanks. Any software available?

i don't think that they would be able to do this because it work as if it was cellular phone and in order to do it i think they would have to hack into it with their own connection first which wouldn't make any sense to steal yours if they already have their own

yes but i think that he is talking about one of these:

which is what i use and i don't think that you can pick up a signal off of it i might be wrong though.

I understand. But is your laptop wireless still enabled when you use this. Even tho you are not using your laptop wireless?

I understand. In that case, yes, you could be hijacked, BUT, very unlikely. The sort of equipment needed runs into a lot of money. Do you live next to a stingy, money-grabbing millionaire?

LOL no :)
