Web Services and Protecting Code

I am new to web services. I have am running a sample web service for
testing. It seems that if I type the URL in the web browser, it displays
all active web method functions. How do I turn that off, I don't want a
person to stumple across my web service on the net and be able to use the
functionality.

Also, I am using a Web Reference in my VB program and it seems in debug
mode, it imported my code... that is fine for me, but how do I stop the
outside work from doing the same, if they stumble across the URL of the web
service.

Thanks and please help... I am new and want a web service to do some
functionality to a secure database over the net using by VB App and can not
have the functionality available to anybody that is not using the VB app.

Thanks for your help.... I greatly appreciate it!
