Good IT Security Tips When Traveling

Safe Computing on the Road

Good tips to follow when you're traveling for work. If you're company doesn't provide you with the security software basics like Anti-Virus, Desktop Firewall, Ant-Spyware, and etc. there are some really good ones out there that are free. The author mentions Ad-Aware Personal SE and Spybot Search and Destroy, but AVG and Javacool also has a slew of free products and even Windows Defender is pretty good. Outside of that always be careful when using wireless hotspots or hotel networks. I try to avoid logging into personal accounts when away from home, but that could be my security/paranoid background kicking in. I'm interested to see the author's next set of security tips building off of this one.
