Public Wi-Fi has been a massive boon for working people. Since these free access points available at restaurants, hotels, airports, bookstores, and even random retail outlets, you are rarely a long distance away from accessing your work at any place. The biggest threat to free Wi-Fi security is the ability for the hacker to put himself between you and the connection point.
The hacker can access to every single piece of information you're sending out on the Internet like important emails, credit card information, even security credentials to your business network and so on. They can also use an unsecured Wi-Fi connection to distribute malware. If you allow file-sharing across a network the hacker can easily plant infected software on your computer through that network.
Even individuals who take all the possible public Wi-Fi security precautions are going to run across issues from time to time. These solutions can constantly run a malware scan on your files, and will always scan new files that are downloaded.
