Wireless access for free… gotta love it!

February 9th, 2009 by admin

The ability to get online anywhere, at any time, is so alluring we may very well go out of our way in order to get free wireless access.  Today, many businesses offer access for free to their customers in order to draw them in for sales.  This is a fair compromise as the wireless access must be paid for in some way.  One downfall with free access however, is the fact it is never quite as secure a connection as we would like.  Access by hackers and criminals is made easier by the free access by all.  You need firewalls and anti-virus software on your laptop computer before going online at most free wireless access sites.  And then you may run into complications with your safety software not wanting to get online with some connections it deems untrustworthy.
