You're right, your data is encrypted from your computer to the other server, and the Wifi network cannot access it.

But that doesn't mean you're safe. Not being able to see your data stream is of small consequence if they've taken over your computer and are having all your keystrokes sent to them.

So literally, you saying "all your keystrokes are belong to them?"

what is a good way to check for those keystroke viruses? i so not work on an unsecure wifi network but it'd be good to know.
