I'm slightly concerned, given that my computing knowledge is somewhere between "zero" and "can download vast amounts of pornography until his computer explodes" - my idea was going to be to plug into the router instead of using Wi-fi, yet some learned folk have already suggested it! Maybe I'm not as useless as I thought! ;)

You can hold them closer to your eyes when your vision starts to fail - hence the pornography. Er.. Allegedly. Laptop here.  :y ::) :-[ :-X

Jesus, I really am not a computer man, I was like "yeah, I have tabs, I use them in Chrome- oh, hang on..."

Police actually took me seriously  :o
They went to the persons house, they told them that they had received several reports in the area and they were to cease all suspicious activity as they faced up to 6 months in prison, up to £700 fine and if it was to continue that their equipment was to be taken for further investigation!

Result has been for all hacking attempts to stop and I've also been helpful enough to tell them that it was me that reported them and any further attempts would be met by me "showing them how it's done" lol  :D

one very happy me
