Safety Tips For Using Public Computers

Public computers at libraries, Internet cafes, airports, and copy shops
are convenient, cheaper than buying your own laptop, and sometimes even
free to use. But are they safe? Depends on how you use them. Here are 5
tips on using public computers without compromising your personal or
financial information.

1) Don't save your login information
Always logout of Web sites by pressing logout on the site, instead of by
closing the browser window or by typing in another address. This will help
keep other users from accessing your information. Many programs (especially
instant messenger programs) include automatic login features that will save
your username and password. Disable this option so no one accidentally (or
on purpose) logs in as you.

2) Don't leave the computer unattended with sensitive information on the
screen
If you have to leave the public computer for any amount of time,
logout of all programs and close all windows that may include sensitive
information.

3) Erase your tracks When you're done using a public computer you should delete all the
temporary files and your Internet history.
To delete your temporary Internet files and your history
1. In Internet Explorer click Tools and then click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, under Temporary Internet files click Delete Files
and then click Delete Cookies.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

4) Watch for over-the-shoulder snoops
Because there's so much in the news about how hackers can digitally
sneak into your personal files, we sometimes forget about the old fashioned
version of snooping. When you're using a public computer, be on the look
out for thieves who collect your information by looking over your shoulder
or watching as you enter sensitive passwords.

5) Don't enter sensitive information into a public computer
The measures listed above will provide some protection against casual
hackers who use a public computer after you have. However, an industrious
thief may have installed sophisticated software on the public computer that
will record every keystroke and then e-mail that information back to the
thief. Then it doesn't matter if you haven't saved your information or if
you've erased your tracks. They still have access to this information. If
you really want to be safe, avoid typing your credit card number or any
other financial or otherwise sensitive information into a public computer.
