I have just watched "Watchdog" expose the vulnerability of wi fi sites. As soon as you log on to your mails etc, someone else on the same wi fi can acquire your details. They mentioned VPN. I googled it & read a bit.

As I will be taking my laptop on holiday, mainly to keep in touch with my boys, who are in the forces. I`m now worried about insecure wi fi in the hotel.

Does anyone use VPN? Apparently there is software available to combat this type of "Fraud", but who knows what else the software may do!

Any help would be appreciated.
