An unknown neighbor has an unsecured wireless network. For some reason, my computers connect to this network rather than to my secured wireless network. How can I keep my computers from connecting to the unsecured network?
All computers are Vista.
Greetings!
I don’t think the problem is related to CFP 3.
Now I’m not on a wireless network, and not on Vista… But in the start menu, there should be something named Connect to or something. Click it, and you should get this screen:
Select your network and enter the key. Also, make sure you do so that you’ll connect to the network automatically each time that your PC starts.

That is what I have done, but next time I boot my computer I find it connected to the unsecured network. This first happened a couple of days ago and when I opened my email, I had tons of spam that I had not had before. I am not usually paranoid, but this is making me so. By the way, I have never seen this network available prior to finding my computer connected to it and all the spam in my inbox.
Exploring my Network and Sharing Center, I found where this unsecured network was listed as “automatically connect” to this network. I have now removed that network from that listing. Hopefully, that should solve thbe problem. But I do wonder about all the spam. Could my neighbor with the new network be attacking me and others?
