public wireless ?

Post by RLucky82 »

If I have file sharing disabled and connect to a wireless access point is it still possible for someone to access my computer and files?

or what else do I need to do to prevent this?


Thanks.

Except for any n00b who thinks he's l33t by getting access to someone else's system. But, as you said, Kerio will do the trick nicely.
