    How is it secured? is it hooked up to a wired network as well? DO you have an active anti-virus running?

Hi: When I click on the wireless icon in the taskbar it shows connected to my home network and an unknown public network. However, in the network sharing center it shows both networks connected to the same SSID which I find strange. How do I get rid of the public unknown network? Also in windows...
