I know there has been some discussion about securing browsing from "hotspots". Using IE, I know, I know, what would be the most secure, with pretty basic ease of use etc. We do like to do some online banking on the road, but its not a life or death thing. As a pastor, I have some emails to parishioners that really, actually by law now, supposed to be kept reasonably secure. (At least be able to show you tried, I know nothing is ever completely secure)
 
What would be the suggestions? This would be for my laptop, I do use full version Zone Alarm, I also use Network Magic. When I logon to a network not my own, it "protects" the shared files that I have listed as shared on the laptop for use at home. I also use Norton Anti-Virus, and I do truly keep all updated, including XP Home security updates and patches.
 
Any help appreciated.

2 PS's one related to above problem
 
1. I do have XP Pro I could install, would that give me any security advantage over XP Home?
 
2. (Non related) Several months ago I mentioned on the list my brother committing suicide and needing to transfer some tapes to a cd, I "talked" to someone in Las Vegas I believe that offered to help. We also had a discussion of the heat/weather in Vegas. As a confirmed weather "nut" I have a few more questions I would like to ask you. If this sounds like you, please reply to the list or off list if you wouldn't mind me asking a few more questions. Appreciate it.  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  -- hoping to slow down spammers there is a missing "t" there.
