Hi! Yes, it’s a nice program once you get used to the ads on top. I wouldn’t recommend sending any sensitive information with it on either. In that case it’s better to do things locally or through your own VPN if you’ve got one.

Not sure I’d want to do my banking through it.

Glad I came across this article. You’ve reminded me to reload it on my new laptop.

You just have to be careful and be picky about what sites you access when on an unfamiliar wireless network. I’d still be very reluctant to access my bank accounts or any other sensitive data.
