[G4] Strange video clips appearing in my ITUNES????

I've had something similar to that happen, too.

One thing I've noticed about my neighborhood is that my wireless  
network picks up a number of other wireless networks. On occasion, my  
computers log onto one of those other networks automatically (I  
switch over to my own network of course). So I imagine others see my  
network too. At one point, my Airport PW and settings actually got  
changed. Im not a naive user, but I'm not a total expert either. I've  
done everything I can think of and have read about to limit my  
network access to my computers. I've tried to make my network  
invisible to everyone but the computers whose IDs I say can get in,  
for example.

So, any tips on tighter security for wireless networks or URLs where  
I can read more? Any uses of Terminal that can be made to spot logs  
of anyone who logged into my network and what they logged into  
(browsers, files, other applications?)

My only other thought about the iTunes is to check the preferences.  
It can be set to download new content and the sharing thing mentioned  
below sounds like a good thing to check.

Best,
David
