are widely used. They include almost every public Wi-Fi network (such as those

in school campuses, coffee shops, airports and other). A home network that you

set up using a wireless router is also unsecured until you activate security on the

router.

Unsecured Wi-Fi networks present a great security risk because your computer

is connected to unknown computers. Without the proper protection provided by

a firewall, anyone connected to the network can access your shares and even

break into your computer.

When connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi network, Acronis Backup and Security 2010

automatically blocks communication with the computers in this network. You can

only access the Internet, but cannot share files or a printer with other users in the

network.

To enable communication with a Wi-Fi network, there are two solutions:

● The "trusted computer" solution allows file and printer sharing only with specific

computers (trusted computers) in the Wi-Fi network. Use this solution when you

are connected to a public Wi-Fi network (for example, a campus or coffee shop

network) and you want to share files or a printer with a friend or access a Wi-Fi

network printer.

● The "safe network" solution allows file and printer sharing for the entire Wi-Fi

network (safe network). This solution is not recommended for security reasons,

but it may be useful in particular situations (for example, you can use it for a

home or office Wi-Fi network).

33.3.1. "Trusted Computer" Solution
