Please would you let me know how I go about securing my wireless broadband. I keep hearing that I need to on the radio and I don't even know where to look!
 
It would largely depend on the wireless router you're using (DLink? LinkSys? Apple Airport Extreme? Some other brand?), but it largely comes down to setting a password and encryption on the router itself.

Read through your router manual(s) about encryption and passwords, looking mainly for "WPA" or "WPA2" password-level encryption. If you can set that up with a good, long, obfuscated password, you're pretty much protected!
