Disconnect from your neighbor's wireless connection and scan for malware.

Be sure to download the anti-spyware pattern file as well as the anti-virus
pattern file. The anti-spyware file is "ssapiptn.da5".
Follow the instructions given and place the anti-spyware patterns file in
the same folder as the other downloads.
If it cleans your computer find another connection for future use. Your
neighbor may not be a very good network security administrator.
