How do i block people with laptops from using my internet? I hate wireless freeloaders. Does Mcafee do that for me?

Set security on your wireless router.
WEP, WPA, Etc..
and MAC filtering..

if you have a router, make it a security enabled system, that way people can’t use your internet without a password.

Enable WPA on your router. Also add a MAC address filter.

Enable WEP security on your wireless router.

No McCaffees won’t do it for ou.

Dial into your router and turn on the WEP encryption feature. You will need to choose a pass word.

When connecting to your WIFI, the router will ask for the pass code. you have it so you can use it, the freeloaders, of course, won’t have it and they will be stopped cold.
