Be careful when using public computers

Making my online private information vulnerable to password hackers or forgetting to log off properly from an email account are just some of the main reasons why I am wary of computer rental in an internet café or using somebody else’s computer. My techie bro advised me to bring my laptop and just plug it to the network hub but most internet cafés don’t allow it since their computers are installed with a time-tracking application to manage the logging in and out of customers.

For those who are into going online in public terminals, make sure that you clear out the cache and password information in the browser and clear out the archives from your chat programs and log out properly. Don’t login immediately to websites. Keep your eyes open for those tiny boxes where it’s ticked to let you enter automatically to your account in the next session. Uncheck this option when using a public computer and be careful not to accept those pop-up windows that ask if you want your password to be remembered or not.
