asked on Using an internet kiosk - security precautions
My friend uses an internet kiosk for her email, but I think she is not following the security steps whenever she finishes using the pc. Can the experts please let me know what are the steps in sequence, she has to take in order to make sure that she has not left any of her personal stuff still retrievable by a geek when she leaves the pc. Thank u.

You mean an internet cafe? You cannot browse in privacy on a computer that you don't administer - period. If the internet cafe owner wanted, he could record every keystroke without her knowing - you cannot do anything against it.

Thank u for your advice, it helps.
jegajothy, if you visited my internet cafe, these measures would not help - I would use keyloggers to get all your passwords. The only thing you can do (and what Rindi mentioned) is boot your own OS from USB or CD/DVD. Then you are in control. But what internet cafe would let you boot your own OS? I can hardly imagine that. So the only secure way is to use your own device.
