Safe guard your wi-fi network

There is no full proof plan to secure your Network/PC!

I suggest that you follow the check list/ steps to avoid such type of issues

1. Install a good firewall (Agnitum Outpost firewall)

2. Antivirus (Nod32 or Active Virus Shield(free, very good))

3. Configure your router

a) Enable inbuilt firewall in ur router.

b) Disable SSID broadcast (not full proof).

c) Disable DHCP (Config Static IP, and filter)

d) Enable WEP2 (give/choose strong password)

e) If you wifi router supports B & G, then disable B (just a suggestion)

f) Enable SNMP

4. You can monitor your network/wifi router, using a SNMP client (Google for the same)

5. Install a good bandwidth monitor tool/util (Ativa bandwidth monitor)

6. Always use Firefox to access unknown sites (suggested) (IE - trusted sites)

7. Install Antispyware tools (Microsoft has one.)
