Is your Wifi secure? 8:53pm on 29 Oct 2009 I've a few questions about using WiFi in public places:

1. I download email to Outlook rather than leaving everything in webmail. Can hackers get into my laptop and read mail previously downloaded into Outlook?

2. Am I vulnerable while Outlook logs in and collects and sends email and is there anything I can do to protect this using public WiFi?

3. Can hackers get into anything else on my laptop?

4. How about using a broadband mobile account instead of free public WiFi? Is this safe from hackers?

I'd be grateful for advice about these. Thanks.

Charlie's Subtitle Diary 12:14pm on 15 Sep 2009 BBC Breakfast News gave me a laugh this morning. Apparently Alien will be in the show after all. Arlene? :)
Open Post 2009-24-04 10:14pm on 24 Apr 2009 Thank you Hymagumba. I'd begun to think my TV was dying, the picture was so poor. Suddenly it's like new again. Many thanks.
Open Post 2009-24-04 6:34pm on 24 Apr 2009 Is the test card still broadcast and if so, where and when will I find it? I have freeview and not HD. My TV picture isn't good and I can't work out the combination of brightness, colour, contrast and sharpness to aim for, so the test card would help.
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask. If not, I'd be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Clare
