If you use a public computer, you need to be careful about
your login and passwords being trapped. Always look at the
computer for "strange" devices connected to the keyboard
connector or the network cable, these can key a record of
all the key-strokes. Also, be sure that you delete all
usernames and passwords you enter and be sure that you don't
have any auto logins enabled. Delete all cookies and
auto-complete entries and reboot the computer before you
leave and look for any trace of your email. Ask the library
about the security settings on the computer, if they can't
tell you, don't use the computer, go somewhere else.

| Hi Tom, Well maybe I didnt use the right wording.Im kinda
| new to computors
| You said:">How would you be able to open your email on a
| computer at a library or other
| >computer when you can't have the mail server account on
| that computer?"
| I use hotmail & yahoo when to read my emails-So I use the
| address book that is on their site. I dont know much
| about how the swen viruses spread. Just that your address
| can be taken from NG's if you dont munge your REAL email
| address.Then you're likely to start getting those emails.
| However, as I said, I use those two to read and send
| emails(Hotmail and Yahoo).So going back to the library
| issue, will my contacts in the address books get infected?
