recommended software protection in hotspots and open WANs?

I'm getting a new notebook with Windows Media edition, and I'm planning on using it in wireless hotspots, like on campus and Barnes and Noble, and was wondering what people would recommend to help protect you from such secure-less connections?

I found Steganos Anonym VPN

$100 for a year of service seems pretty steep. Even though it sounds like the best protection! I hate Norton, so please don't recommend Norton products. What about any of the regular software firewalls like ZoneAlarm or AVG , do they even protect against possible open WAN/hotspot intrusion attempts?

Thanks for any feedback! Liam
