Internet Security Away From Home Or The Office - Beware Of That Dangerous Public Computer

Computers linked to the Internet and links to the net are everywhere these days but remember that security and the possibility of spyware should always be on your mind at all times and when using public computers, you should know that you are in greater danger.

This should be obvious to you because the truth is that you will no longer be using that well protected PC at home or in the office but you will be using some computer in a library, cyber caf or airport that is used by everybody usually to do the sort of things that they would never dream of doing on their own computers at home. We are of course referring to the sort of stunts that make a person extremely vulnerable to spyware.

Now just imagine for a moment that a person forgets themselves and in their effort to quickly access sensitive data or a financial account of sorts, they use the public PC.

Accessing your banking and credit card accounts on a strange computer is a big "NO, NO". It is just too risky. In fact it is much more dangerous than counting your money in some dangerous part of town. The risks are just too high.

There are in fact certain precautions that you can take before leaving home when going on a trip that will help protect you from the many spyware dangers out there lurking in public computers and waiting to strike. These are simple precautions like changing your password the first time you use a computer away from home and forwarding your emails to a special email address set up for use during your trip only.
