[QUOTE="Rov123, post: 1113264, member: 118385"] Hello all, I recently got a brand new laptop, and I am using this for use while travelling, especially to use in public places such as coffee shops or public libraries. I heard that these public wifis are not secure and connecting to them leave your devices vulnerable to attacks. I was wondering what are some precautions I need to do for my brand new expensive laptop, such as security softwares installation or what firewalls, antivirus, or any settings I need to change to improve windows 11 security before connecting it to a public wifi? I am currently thinking of just purchasing premium kaspersky straight up. maybe disable netbios settings, disable ipv6, not sure what else. [/QUOTE]
