Secure PC in Wirelles network

I am going to use internet services from local Wirelless ISP, so I am curious in how would I secure files on my PC, so noone in wirelles network (Not even ISP itself) can see files on my PC. I would like to be invisible to all PC's that are in wirelles network (and internet users too, ofc ourse). I already have installed antivirus and software firewall...

Thanxs in advance

If your goal is to keep others from seeing what is on your PC, just set your firewall to block all access, i.e. in Windows Firewall "check" the box that reads "Don't allow Exceptions".

The above will do what I think you want, but note two major exceptions:

(1) People can still snoop on your network traffic. To prevent that, check that your wireless traffic is encrypted using WPA. Of course, that only protects the traffic that is over the wireless segment, people may still snoop beyond the access point. To prevent the latter you have to use something like VPN etc.

(2) The firewall and encryption and VPN are no use if your PC were to get infected with a trojan or spyware. The most likely ways this can happen is by unsafe web browsing or clicking on email attachments. So be aware of what is running on your PC at all times. Use an updated AV program, plus Windows Defender, but most importantly, be careful what you click on, and don't trust email atachments, and don't run unknown freeware/shareware.

Ok, I am using internet (dial up) for the last 6 years, so I was aware of the point (2).

Do I need (and is it advisable) to turn of file printer sharing, NetBIOS over TCPIP, and maybe some other services? And about the firewall, when I apply this option "Don't allow Exceptions", how will it reflect on some p2p programs like e emule, and also, if I ever wanted to play a game on the network, I believe I would need to open some ports (never tried it before), so how does it reflect on security? Can those ports be used by "intruders"?

P.S. What firewall would you advise me to use (seeing all the above things)??

r-k, thanxs for all the info. If you would be kind to answer one more question about ZA and the points are yours. I already had zone alarm, so after I joined the wireless ISP, I went on couple of sites to see how secure I am. And they all warned me about two ports being opened: 23 and 2000, and that my PC responds to pinging (ICMP). I have set both Internet and trusted zones to High security. How can I close those two ports and deny ping requests (I have disabled telnet service, which uses 23). I have tired with cusrom settings in ZoneAlarm firewall setings, but with no sucess.

The reason why I am this "melodramatic" is because I am a programmer, so I wouldnt like anyone do get hands on my software, especially the ISP, which like me cells software onr the same market. :)

Thanxs.
Ok, I didnt pay attention on the IP address that was examined on those sites. It was the IP address of the ISP server (router, or whatever), not my IP address, since we all go over one IP address (as far as I know). Can you tell me what software can I use to check my PC in our wireless network?
I will send you the ZoneALarm info a bit later, but here is a freeware application (ActivePorts) that lets you examine which ports are open on your local machine:
