Wireless Networking Precautions

Having free wireless internet is great but, when using wireless networking you must take precautions. you must make sure that your computer has a firewall this will keep from getting viruses.  Firewall will highly reduce the chances that someone will be able to hack into your computer. Be careful when using public WiFi. do not ever use public WiFi with information with credit cards you never know whose hand that can end up in. Make sure that when you use public WiFi it is not some random network make sure it is secure.  Public networks will never make your log in so do not give away your information.  

Also, keep your internet connection from automatically joining wireless networks to be safe.
 When using wireless internet it is important to protect your computer. make sure you have a antivirus program installed on your computer. Anti-virus software will automatically scan your computer to check for any possible threats or viruses. Wireless networking is any type of computer network that is not connected by cables. You can work on anything anywhere around the house including outside and will still be connected to the internet. Just like you can connect to the internet when you are outside it also means that even a stranger can connect to it. It is important to protect yourself at home and yourself at public.
