How to I make sure that I have set up a secure internet connection on my macbook pro? Our internet has been running slower the past month or so and I want to be sure I have not left my internet unsecured for someone else to log on and use. When I check the "rainbow" at the top of my screen there are usually about 6 people listed and they all have a lock after their names. Our just has our last name with a checkmark. Does that mean it is secure?
 
The Gurus will need more information--wireless? What type, router, service.

I assume you mean your wireless base, and it does not read like it is password protected. Which means people like me can steal your precious bandwidth!!11!

What router and service?
What security options do you have on?
Default password as from factory? = really bad.
Security? None = bad. Needs some security, and ideally also ACL...
What kind of remote monitoring does that router allow? Some allow viewing all connected devices which can be practical.
