Went to connect to a wireless network on my vista machine the other day and the SSID is hidden for this network so i just added it manually however i noticed one of the settings said 'Connect automatically even if the network is not broadcasting' or something like that but then after it said (less secure) and I was just wondering why that is and does it needed to be checked to connect to a wireless network that isn't broadcasting?
