I admit it. I am a somewhat paranoid, especially when it came to the
� "Public" facilities. For example, an unfamiliar public toilet
I have in mind the car and thinking cleansing ... and hope
It was entered because I withdraw from the (Therefore, I do not actually touch
What).
�
This story, I must tell began two years ago, while on vacation
In Mexico. I enjoy rather than around, I feel the leader
To "stay connected." I discovered that the recent Internet cafes.
Everything is good, until I suddenly railroaded by the quiet and
A * * by an overwhelming sense of computer security-related concerns.
�
Why?
�
Since all public computers, it seems that if this is a windows computer.
From my computer security background, I know, the windows
Several computer security tools and need to set
On completely prevent numerous threats
Internet. "Out of the box office," not ideal windows computer
Security formed.
�
If so, what are cheated me out of my peace and tranquility and the unexpected
Realize, I do not know how many, if any, security
Measures are applicable to this particular computer. Really, when
The use of public computers, how no one knew how to protect them
Is that right?

Clean, the dangers faced by whether, when used
Public computers?
�
Of course, the virus is always concern when using unfamiliar
The computer, but if I could choose one thing highlighted above
Rest, it's spyware. If you are not familiar with spyware, it
Fast becoming one of the most sinister threat theory
Internet.

What is spyware do? Less harmful species, such as adware
Observe your Web browsing activities, and based on this provision
Targeted advertisements usually in the form of pop-up website
Spam.

More serious forms of spyware such as "keyboard recorder"
� (Programs records Everything you type), will quietly sit-in
Background records information about you. If you shop or
Internet banking, such spyware is your absolute worst
The enemy.
�
Public Internet computers are in no way free from this threat.
In fact, the opposite is true.

For example, I recently read an article discussing
How to install spyware hackers several Internet terminals
Located in the New York region kinko. Prior to this, the spy was discovered, it
The management to a record over 400 account names and passwords!
He access and even open bank accounts online.

Well, I have confirmed. I do not just "being paranoid," ... but I
One of the difficulties now facing.
�
We do not deny that there's to facilitate public computer,
Especially when runaway. However, in recognition of
Serious security risks, forced me to become a two options:
� * Do not * use of public Internet computers, or trying to work out a
� "Reliable" way to use them.
�
I think I will provide a safe strategy, the use of public
Computer.
�
First, there are several "high-risk" activities, I will not
To do so on these computers. I definitely will not use a public Internet
Computers do online banking, shopping, or do anything
The potential harm involved financial information.
Many companies allow you to check your work e-mail accounts
Through a website; Then think twice before doing so,
Public computer.
�
A safe strategy for public computers:
�
When I left, I use public computers for two purposes only:
�

Accounts.
�
To ensure that my privacy and security, I do the following:
�
� -- Ago, I left my itinerary, I change my e-mail passwords
Another matter is basically what I will remember, and I left.
�
� -- Return as soon as possible, I changed my password to a new password,
Or return to it in the accompanying before leaving.
�
What kind of advantages of this strategy?
�
Because I do not know how to obtain these computer is first of all,
I know I dare not use them in the first adventure
In place. At the same time, I will reduce the risk to limit
I will do on the computer (that is, only to check personal e-mail and
Not given any information, it may reveal
Financial information).
�
The event, my e-mail accounts and "travel" Password
Record, I have changed the password to something else.
This strategy has worked well, and for me to remove my paranoiac, and
Let me stay in contact, running away from home.

Of course, you can use * * This "strategy" any accounts, and
Password (banks, the Web site user accounts, etc.). I
Cautious suspiciousness can not let me recommend this strategy
