I have been using a regular wired DSL broadband modem in my Compaq laptop. Planning to buy a new USB wireless modem. Am a bit confused about the security issues which may have to be addressed now.
My current OS/security setup is as below :-
a) Win-XP SP2 (completely patched, vetted by Secunia)
b) AVG AV/AS free 8.5
c) ZA firewall free 7.0.483
d) Sundry utilities/protection software : Ccleaner, Spywareblaster
e) Safe browsing habit
I have been reading about WEP and WPA, but have not understood fully whether these would be applicable for my new USB wireless modem. I don’t ever intend to use any wifi / hotspot.
What more do I need to do please?
Thanks,
