Insecure vs. Unsecure (computer stuff)

[Mood] :? (Don't give me that look.)

I told an officemate of mine a story on how one of our customers emailed one of support group regarding how she did not continue her membership payment because she thought the system was 'insecure'. My officemate gave me a look like she was saying, "insecure? like duh, are you stupid?", which prompted me to just say, "unsecure!". Like shit, I'm not wrong! there isn't even an entry for 'unsecure' in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/unsecure). There is for 'unsecureD' but not for 'unsecure'. I stumbled across this article (http://seclists.org/dailydave/2005/q3/0253.html) where another individual (not just me) is dumbfounded about this prefix problem.

So guys, get your thoughts straight about say, 'insecure wireless networks'. No, they're not crying about their narrow bandwidth nor how their neighboring networks use apple airports.
