You don't need to as from Win 8.# when you wired up, wireless is auto disabled.

I unplug the ethernet cord here and there.  I also unplug the modem some lately at night.  I've noticed with the ethernet cord pulled, the activity light on the modem can still go kinda crazy.  So I didn't want to take chances.  I have been pulling the power cord too, before bed...most of the time. 

Boggin:
Your router is permanently broadcasting a wireless signal whether you have your machine connected to it or not or have it switched on.

The wireless light flashing is normal and nothing to worry about.

It's best to keep your router switched on as your ISP's Line Management may see that as an unstable connection and increase the SNRM which will result in a slower sync speed, although an overnight switch off is usually acceptable, although it can depend upon the Line Management.

All I have is a modem.  So you mean it is best to keep it plugged in all the time?  When I am going to be away from the keyboard for over 30 minutes, I usually pull the ethernet cord.  I started doing that as one day a message popped up when I was by the door.  I could've sworn it was in red.  When I went to see what it was, it disappeared.  I looked at notifications, and saw nothing.  I tried to look at event viewer, but saw nothing. So that worried me. With all these hackers, I try to be as safe as possible.  I used to have a firewall that would tell you who who was hitting your firewall.  A lot of them were coming from China.  Now I guess it is from all over.

So you can only connect by Ethernet ?

I had a router that was constantly under attack from various IP addresses from its log but the router's firewall kept them at bay.

The alert may have been something that ESET had blocked.

Does ESET have a history log of what it has blocked that you can check ?

Is the program behaving as it should in Safe Mode with Networking ?
