Sorry about sending yet another off-topic computer message, but...

Apparently one of my neighbors has set up a wireless, presumably infrared,
network in her apartment, because suddenly my laptop has taken to
displaying an infrared icon that assures me "Kristen is in range." Haven't
got the faintest idea who Kristen is.

The only thing I could find to do under Properties was to uncheck the
option that others could send files to me via infrared, and to set the
controller to "disabled". I still keep seeing the icon that this person is
in range.

Does anyone know whether there is anything else I need to do to protect my
system? My neighbor is probably a harmless grad student, but you never know.
