If you are using the Firefox web browser you should also be using HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.
It was developed in response to the October 2010 release of Firesheep, a Firefox ad on that allows anyone to easily hijack an internet user's password protected account at a variety of high profile websites.
