I'm new to wi-fi but love it already. I've been reading tons online and in print about security issues, however.
I'm kinda freaked out at this point. Not that I use my notebook to do a lot of super-secure stuff, but what can I do specifically on my notebook (Compaq running XP home) to amp-up the safety and security while I'm on a wireless network at the park, at a cafe, at the airport, etc. etc.
Is configuring my settings enough, or should I download/purchase more software like Norton or Zone Alarm Pro (though i have mixed feelings since many people complain these two often crash your system)? I'm willing to spend some extra money to ensure I'm not open to hackers, but I dont want to invest in crap that won't help. Any advice??
Thanks
