Wi Fi Hotel. Should I be worried?

Hi
I am going to take my laptop to a wi fi enabled hotel room shortly. Should I be concerned? I have zone alarm pro. Any tips appreciated
Thanks

as long as you have a firewall, you should have no problems. If you are concern, turn off your folder sharing.

I use my laptop in hotels all the time and never had a problem - except with signal strength.

Thanks for that. I assume they give you the info needed in the hotel too?

theres usually a card in the room that gives the info.
