In this wisdom that Paul shares, not only can we apply this to not hanging around people who will have a negative influence on us. However, it also speaks to the company we keep when no one is even around.
Bill Hybels wrote a book called, "Who you are when no one is looking". It speaks to how many of us are great in putting on these masks when we are around others, but being someone completely different when behind close doors. Why do we do this when God sees all? Isnt His way far more important than others opinions and perceptions of us? (I have to remind myself of this all the time!)
So, bad company could be who's on the other end of that phone or what's on that computer screen that you are looking at. Bad company could be that song that is coming through the radio airwaves or that television show that's playing in the background while your cooking, cleaning, etc.
The enemy comes in any way He can, the bible says He comes to kill, steal and destroy. Keep that joker under your feet and be discerning about the company you keep. Even when no one is around.
