Question about security?

I would agree with the previous answer with the exception of the firewall. I would also add a hardware router/firewall. They are very inexpensive now and hardware is usually better than software solutions... Does this mean I would not use zonealarm at all? No, it is great for anything that may have gotten by your hardware or came in through a backdoor. It is also useful in that it can stop outgoing traffic from your computer also.

The risk - Identity theft, credit card theft, viruses, etc.\n\nI don't know a lot, but I do know you should get a really really good firewall.\n\nBut taking a chance to use any network that's unsecured is just that, a chance. So don't put anything really personal out there on your computer. And if you use it, don't go on a shopping spree while on that connection. Your information could be open to anyone.

Everything can be hacked, it's just a matter of time and effort. The best protection is to be proactive. Make sure that you are able to analyze everything about your data, including who accessed it, when it was accessed, and where.  Never sacrifice speed for security, it does no good to have a fast service if everything is going to be compromised.  \n\nMy first source includes a website that trys to break in to your website and points out holes in your security and how to prevent credit card fraud. The rest are just informational links but worth a look. Hope this helps.

Ask for their permission nicely?\n\nSeriously, this is not the place to be asking how to be a l337 hax0r d00d. There are a number of very good security textbooks available if you're just starting out, and a number of much better web sites to look for information than Yahoo answers.\n\nGood luck.

Keep your trust as low as possible.\nFor example: spywares are sometimes listed in you Trusted Sites (Internet Options > Security)

Technically yes (although legally difficult concept as yet) but it is also insecure so your data may be unsafe - the 'owner' of the network could be intercepting your data.

There is no such  thing as security.  Given that your decisions will not be based on fear.  to seek security is a fool's errand and will never lead to sound policy.

It depends on the pathces you apply to the OS,\n\nfor example: Windows XP with service pack 2 is much secure than the standard eddition of Windows XP.
