Is my carputer a Crackwhore?
Driving around picking up countless numbers of wireless networks,
Isn't it kinda dangerous seeing as how so many virus transfer across networks so easily.

Any one have protection on thier carputer, or has had a problem with getting viruses from all the wireless hotspots.

If you're worried, only let it connect to specific networks (ie your own), and don't let it connect to any available network!

Or install a good firewall like Norton Internet Security or Zone Alarm and stop worrying.

Don't rely on just installing a firewall without configuring it right...
