The Microsoft firewall is sufficient protection. The settings vary by OS
version--if asked, you should say you are on a public network, and that will
make the correct settings.
As Steve mentions, clear text communications, such as ordinary email can be
intercepted, so using an encrypted email solution, such as Exchange, or
hotmail or gmail--is a good thing.

Are MSE plus Windows firewall and password protected user operations enough
to operate at McDonald's and Starbuck's or do I need a stronger firewall?
TIA.
