mobile broadband

[Telstra]

How can you tell someone is using your mobile broadband from their laptop or something nearby?


I got a Norton firewall message saying quote:

Norton has detected and blocked an intrusion
Intrusion: Invalid TCP Options
Intruder: secure-au.imrworldwide.com(203.166.110.169)
Source IP address: secure-au.imrworldwide.com (203.166.110.169)
TCP Source Port: http(80)
TCP Destination Port: 3300
Invalid TCP Option: 0x86cf88c0.


what is the above quote mean ?
I don't like to use Norton firewall because it slows everything badly.

Excuse my ignorance - but isn't it possible to prevent other people from using your wireless internet connection (presumably including mobile phones) by using password protection?

^ so they record what sites i visited ? Do they know every porn sites i visited?
why do they want to do that?

who or what is "industry/vertical analysis" ?

^ oh, that was a Sony site. I noticed when visited Sony site, the norton firewall alert went up.

So Sony hire a spyware company to track people ?
Anyway, i hate Sony site because it is too slow, hard to search, and with un-necessary too much graphics.

Eh...what you suddenly forgot the rootkits they implemented?

I think someone is using my bandwidth because i didn't use the internet but i saw the data/downloads keep transferring.

how can i stop data transfer when i'm not using it ?

yeah Noelie, it is a 3G mobile broadband and its expensive.

I prefer a fix land broadband, much cheaper but not available in the area.

Anyway i will post somemore if the data transfer goes quickly when not using the net.
