Hi Miss UK,
Virtually any one you ask will tell you that is a waste of money if you decide to keep and and pay for it. Also it is rather pointless and the only thing you will achieve is to use up your phones valuable resources. Unless you just accept and install things without thinking about it or are using a lot of free stuff from dodgy websites you are really at no risk. This is not just MO opinion either but comes from many people far more knowledgeable than me.

... agree with dogmann - you're muchmuchmuch more likely to catch a problem opening a dodgy e-mail/sms/mms, and it does slow down your lovely phone!!!

According to one of the guys who presided over the choosing of the name wifi, it doesn't stand for anything, but is just a play on the term "hi-fi", and that "wireless fidelity" came into use after the term had already been chosen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi
Though I imagine "wireless fidelity" will become the accepted meaning.
