There's something that always amazes me, when people go on holiday what do they do with their computer's, well it's easy with laptops these days, you just carry it with you but is it safe with you. Are you using it on the travels, is it protected in every way possible for example insured against theft, damage if using it outside in the weather. Best too check before leaving on your holiday.
Another protection is it all up to date with the latest Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware software and definitions, if not then best you do, if you normally on a network (i.e. work laptop) check with your IT Admins to see what you can do to safely guard your laptop against cyber theft while browse the net via a hotels free wifi connection, you can ask the place you staying for your holiday's if their network is protected sufficiently against cyber crime. The worst thing that could happen is you innocently connect with your work or home laptop to a wireless connection and someone close by manages to hack into your computer and either plants a virus, spyware, rogueware or worst still steals all your unprotected data.
Be sure to check out with the local's which is the best IT support in the area you staying if you happen to have issues with your computer while you on holiday. Nothing is worse than having your laptop crash while all your saved holiday photos and memories can never be recovered. It is also not nice to spend your holiday savings on dodgy IT repairs that in the end cost more to fix than your original holiday cost.
Finally have a safe and pleasant holiday season. All the best for 2015
