    There are quite a few risks associated with wireless internet connections. While the more benign among the spyware and adware programmers monitor the sites that the user visits on the web simply to be able to assess the success of their marketing efforts and identify the web-surfing habits of wire less internet users, there are types of spyware that go beyond these limits. They undermine the user’s wireless internet security, by carefully monitoring the keystrokes and actually capturing passwords and other functions. This surely crosses the line and poses a very definite wireless computer security risk.

    LOL, this is called "priming the pump" so to speak. By the end of the week, when he has enough people "worried" about their Internet security, he (of course) will step forward and offer a solution that saves the day (at a nominal cost, of course).

    Because the poster is going to sell internet security solutions. If he was planning on selling hot dogs, he would obviously take another tact... -bigsmiles
