Frankly, using public wifi is always dangerous and I'll share why it is so. But first there is nothing you can do about it if you use public wifi. Why would I write that?

And if you think this has been solved since that date, I have bridge closures for sale.
Basically if you do anything over public wifi, keep it to reading news and such.
My mom solved it so I think anyone else could. She got a NetZero portable hot spot.

Good morning guys,
I am using a Macbook os x 10.6.8 and Chrome for surfing. I recently learned that it could be possible for others on the same wifi to peek into my computer. For example, at Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.
Is this true? If it is, can you pls tell me what I can do, if anything, to keep this from happening?
Thanks again for your help,
Rita
