[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1752790, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. You should always be careful when using any public WiFi - Starbucks, McDonalds, Panera, etc. Very definitely turn on your firewall and if you do any kind of banking or use of your credit card over public WiFi, you should use a VPN (virtual private network). As for Sophos or Bitdefender, they're not needed since there are no viruses in the wild that can infect your Mac. All those do is slow you down and use resources. (The zako plugin is malware that only infects Windows computers.) [/QUOTE]
