I bought a laptop to take on a cross country trip and need to know if by having Trend as a firewall and virus protection, if my information will be protected when using hotel wireless internet connections. I think I remember something about having to set up a virtual network, but have no clue as to know how to do it. Any input will be much appreciated.
check out hamachi it will allow you to create a virtual network between several computers. it is very easy to setup, i use it to have access to files on my desktop computer all the time
You can refer to the link I given on how to setup a VPN.
