Yeah, OR you could just enable a little wireless security, duh.
I think it is a bit more than that - WiFi, that is.
Having worked part-time for a computer company that built specially shielded computers for various government agencies I know anyone with the right equipment can sit in a prked car near your home and see everything that appears on your monitor. I shall assume the paint (which isn't really a new product) is but one more level of protection against that sort of thing happening.
WiFi is the big thing now, so the ad boys are capitalizing on it.
Yup, one more layer to deal with, as it stands now with some freeware and instructions on the internet it'll take less than 30 minutes for a noob to crack a secured wireless, get a pro and they'll crack it in less then 10 minutes.
