I'm sitting at a cafe, using their public Wi-Fi. I don't go on sensitive sites; I basically go to a music site and listen to a live stream, for which there's no login. I don't check my email or visit any password-protected sites. Some rare times, I visit Stack Overflow, for which I'm automatically logged in. I'm using Windows 7 64bit64-bit with AVG Internet Security.

1) Can someone hack into my computer and see/download my files?

2) Is there anything risky about what I'm doing?
