1.	Solve : How do I protect my computer using public wi-fi??
Answer» I have a Lenovo laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium and will have to use public wi-fi wherever I can find it for a few months. However, I am really not too comfortable with this and would like to know what I have to do, or what programs I need to keep my COMPUTER from "CATCHING" a virus out there in the big world. I am running NORTON's Antivirus and using Windows Firewall, Malwarebytes, CCleaner & SpywareBlaster. Thank you....I'm moving this out of the malware section and into the networking section. When you set up the wireless connection you'll be asked if it's a public or private network. Just MAKE sure you choose public. Other than that, take the same PRECAUTIONS you would if you were using your home network.
