Hi I just bought an Acer net book with windows 7, and it is great, I can now work in the lounge, and watch the football.......

Here is the question, how secure are free Wifi locations at places like McDonalds, Hotels, outside someones house on open WiFi etc
How do you know it is their site and not someone with a laptop filtering them?
Do you need the key code for these sites?
Any help appreciated.
best regards,
Rustic
