By an Alarm for you house, don't show off your computer if you're in an area with a high crime rate - obvious steps to safeguard your house and possessions.2a. Get a Firewall and Anti-virus, these can be found on the Internet and in stores, make sure the program you're downloading to safeguard your computer is legit and ot a virus itself, I would promote things such as the commercially available anti-virus programs. Keep these up to date.Added; Another example of theft of services would be if you accessed the net using someone elses access point(hot spot) typically via a non-password protected modem or link.
