That is the other big deal about unsecured WiFi... who wants to risk someone else outside accessing your PC and downloading, say, your Quicken database, a client list, or personal e-mails? Even if you don't care about people accessing the web, you're better off securing your connection for your own safety. (I'd bet this is the reason why most people secure their WiFi.)
