		Question: I use my laptop frequently when I’m away from home. How can I safely use public Wi-Fi? Answer: Wi-Fi networks in coffee shops, libraries, airports, hotels, and other public places are convenient, but they can present security risks. If the Wi-Fi network isn’t secure, and you log into an unencrypted site, other users on the network could potentially hijack your session and log in as you. New hacking tools — available for free online — make this easy, even for users with limited technical know-how. Your personal information and even your login credentials could be up for grabs. There are ways, however, to minimize your risk: Treat all Wi-Fi links with suspicion. Don’t just assume that the Wi-Fi link is legitimate. It could be a bogus link that has been set up by a cybercriminal that’s trying to capture personal information from unsuspecting users. Verify it’s a legitimate wireless connection. Some bogus links set up by malicious users will often have a connection name that’s deliberately similar to the real one used by the business. If possible, speak with an employee at the location and ask for information about their legitimate Wi-Fi network including the connection’s name. Change your device’s settings so it doesn’t automatically connect to nearby Wi-Fi. That way, you have more control over when and how you use public Wi-Fi. Consider using your phone’s mobile data. If you’re on the go and don’t have the option of using a secure website, consider using your phone’s mobile data instead of a public Wi-Fi network, especially if you need to access any websites that store or require the input of sensitive information such as your bank. Following these basic security tips will help you stay connected when you’re out and about without exposing yourself to identity theft.

While you’re looking for your next job, scammers could be looking for their next victim. There are fraudulent offers out there involving illegal jobs or ones designed to facilitate identity theft or fake check schemes.

Be careful during your job search and watch for these warning signs:

• You’re offered a job without an interview. Scammers might say they’re out of town, too busy, or have another excuse for not talking to you by phone or in person.
  
  
• You get a check before you start a job. The person “hiring you” might say it’s your first paycheck and to use the money to buy supplies. But later they’ll tell you to send part of the money to someone else or return it to them. They’ll have excuses, but the main thing to know is that the check is fake. By the time the bank realizes it, the scammer has your money (if you sent it), and the bank will want you to repay the money you withdrew.
  
  
• You’re contacted through non-company email domains and teleconference applications. For example, an actual IBM recruiter would contact you using a company email such as johndoe@ibm.com, as opposed to johndoeibm@gmail.com.
  
  
• You’re required to purchase start-up equipment from the company, such as is the case of work-from-home job scams, or are asked to pay a non-refundable registration fee.
  
  
• You’re required to provide your bank account information or Social Security number BEFORE you start working.

To avoid being scammed, check out potential employers thoroughly before giving them any sensitive information. Search online for their name, email address, phone number, and even the text of the message they sent. You might find that others have had bad experiences and been scammed by the same people in a similar way. It’s also a good idea to check on the business with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org.

		Question: I’ve always used a mouse, but many of my friends swear by touchpads. What are the advantages of each? Answer: A mouse is significantly better for people who work from a static location and have a large flat surface available. This is because using a mouse gives you incredible precision, which allows you to work more quickly and productively on your computer with a higher level of accuracy. In addition, using a mouse rather than a touchpad can be better for your well-being by keeping your shoulders, neck, and forearm more relaxed. However, people who travel a lot for work or like to move their laptop from room to room at home will probably be happier with a touchpad. That way, you don’t have to carry a mouse around with you all the time and can more easily use a laptop from an airport chair or your living room sofa. Even if you prefer using a mouse, it’s a good idea to get familiar with your touchpad so you can still use your laptop should your mouse quit working.
