if you connect to someone else's wireless web can they get into your computer or find out any of your information?

You are using up their bandwidth, which can make the network run more slowly overall. You might also want to be forewarned that their have been successful prosecutions for people using someone else's wireless network to connect to the Internet, even if that network is not encrypted or otherwise locked down in any way. |

You are using up their bandwidth, Since all ISPs in this world are working with Bandwidth limits and so, more Bandwidth used means more money or just slowing the overall Bandwidth when reaching its limits, and even can't use`it because it will be below the normal limit, so eventually you will have to pay so they can rise your Daily/Weekly/Monthly Bandwidth Limit. (All transfers between Computers who are on the same LAN/WAN its not counted, because those are only Intranet connections or just LAN/WAN P2P, so these doesnt consume any Bandwidth) |

I mean, its the same thing as if I brough my laptop to my girlfriends house and just started using his internet. |
