 Backing up your PC

Most public wi-fi hotspots are not secure and make your computer and communications vulnerable to hackers and security breaches. A VPN gives you a simple solution to maintain your anonymity and protect your privacy when accessing free wi-fi hotspots.

The problem:  VPN's can be expensive, and it's not something the "average" computer user can set up and maintain.

The solution:  Use a "Free" vpn!  The one I recommend is Hotspot Shield.

If you connect to free wi-fi's, ie Hotels, Airports, Starbucks (not free...but not secure!) you need to connect, then start up your VPN.

A VPN:

• Ensures your computer remains anonymous and private when logged on to free wi-fi hotspots.
• Auto encrypts and protects inbound / outbound Internet traffic (email, instant messaging, VoIP calls, web surfing, etc.) as it's transmitted thru the air, using wi-fi.
• Thwarts wireless hackers keeping your personal data locked down while using an unsecured hotspot.
• Provides professional security and protection without expensive or complex requirements.
