Finally! After not being able to access you wonderful people through my
Outlook Express for a month because one of my neighbors was using my
wireless connection and used all my download space, I am back. DH bought a
firewall so we are protected. Would you believe in one month there were 5133
new messages! I will never be able to read them all and have a life, but I
will scan all the subjects.
Boy do I feel good again!
BTW, my surgery is over and I go to PT 3 times a week on my knee. I am doing
very well and look forward to being normal once again, although my DH says I
was never NORMAL. LOL
Anyway - hugs to all you friends out there.

So glad to hear you are well on all sorts of levels!
One suggestion about your computer security, if you are using a
wireless network, make sure your internet connection is encrypted.
That way, even if outsiders saw your wireless network when they scanned
for access points, they could not get in without the password. The
firewall will protect your computer from intruders, but your wireless
signal needs its own protection as well. You can encrypt it by using
the software that came with your router, in most cases. You may see
it referred to as "WEP".
Take care and stay well!

To back Alice's suggestion up...
A firewall means that your computers are protected from direct attack,
not your wireless router.
If you do not want to follow Alice's suggestion, you should at least
setup a MAC filter on the wireless router. Only systems with MAC
addresses ( kind of like a computer fingerprint) that appear in your
list on the router can access the router, which is a little easier to
keep secure, but just as secure as the WEP settings.
Without security on the router, your slimy neighbor can still [borrow]
your connection.

Talked to DH and he set up a MAC filter. So far it is working well.
