Thanks, I do all the normal virus updates, adaware, spybot things already.

I was trying to find out if I was surfing the web can somebody else with a wireless connection get on my laptop.

If so what can I do to prevent it.

 
Enable your firewall. Use WEP. If you are using a cisco router use RADIUS. Turn off services not needed.

Are you using a pos linksys router?
