Free WiFi is called a HotSpot for a reason.
Free, unsecured Wi-Fi networks generally leave you vulnerable to other people checking out what you're doing online. Even worse, an open Wi-Fi network could be a spoof designed explicitly to steal your personal information.
Free Wi-Fi at a cafe or airport is generally safe, but make sure you don't access any sensitive information (like your bank's website or Credit Cards) while using them. Definitely steer clear of any random open networks you don't recognize -- they aren't worth the risk.
Once hacked a deluge of personal information may be in the hands of the bad guys. Protect your identity with full household 24 hour protection for pennies a day, it is worth it.
