I just started using wireless Internet on my new laptop and it is running Vista which has many added features to protect you when you are on these services. Does anyone have some other suggestions for safer use of public Internet hot spots to keep the laptop and my files safe? I have a firewall and anti-virus and Vista turns off file sharing for you but I am trying to add any other security features that can ensure that no one steals my information. What is safe or not safe to do using free Wi-Fi?
