My wireless g network seemed to have pretty low range (get 1 or 2 bars at the 
extremities of the house) and the neighbours are older more responsible looking 
people who would be very unlikely hackers but now you've mentioned it I realise 
I didn't consider the possibility of someone accessing my computer via a 
neighbours computer that could of been compromised.

I do use the firewall that comes with Mac OS.

Thanks again for the advice.
