How to
use Public computers safely
Shoppers need to take the necessary steps to be sure that the
convenience of online shopping isn’t costing them their security and
privacy in the long run.
• Risk: Public
computers. Computers at public libraries or Internet cafes are used
by hundreds of people daily. Not knowing which Web sites previous
users visited or whether the computer has been infected with malware
can put online shoppers at great risk.
TIP: Using an unfamiliar computer that could be infected with key
loggers or other malware puts consumers at risk for credit card
fraud or identity theft. In addition to installing anti-virus,
spyware, firewall and pop-up blocker software to detect and protect
against malicious programs, consumers shopping online should use
computers they are familiar with and trust.
