Other people using my wireless connection... what to do?

A few weeks ago when I turn on my computer... the screen shows that
unsecurity wireless connection are on my pc computer.... that I should check
it out.

Going to Wireless network list, it appears as several computers are linked
to my wireless network.... What should I do in order to prevent other people
get into my computer and my wireless conection ? thanks.

I think you're confusing the list of available wireless connections with
computers "linked to my wireless network." What you are seeing is a list of
Wireless Access points within range. You needn't be concerned if your
neighbors are running unsecured WAP's. You need only make sure that your
own is properly secured and that that is the one you connect to.
