Wireless security-am I secure?

I've been on Sky broadband for a couple of years, but having just bought a laptop, I've gone wireless. I used the Sky set-up C.D, but wasn't asked about any password security. After a bit 'o' researching I came across Sky.com - Sky Help Centre>Product Help and followed the router settings and set up a password. Is this all I need, or should I do anything else? Help very much appreciated.

BTW, why the heck doesn't the Sky set up C.D. mention passwords or have a link to this page? I wonder how many people on wireless have the default password "Sky" (Probably as many as those whoose answerphone password is "0000"). What's the worse case scenario if you don't have a password? Cheers, Carl.

Also, I no longer have the firefox spell checker which had the "ABC" in the toolbar. I'd obviously downloaded it at some point to the desktop, but can't seem to find it again!
