If you cannot install to the program files, create a directory on the desktop. - If you are forced to use a public computer, think about buying a usb thumbdrive and install http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - when you are finished, make sure you clear out all the history and cookies from the browser you are using. Other than that, perfect article mate. </blockquote> Daniel sent me some great comments regarding this article:

Ok here is what I do

- on public computers, always ALWAYS download firefox and install it. If you cannot install to the program files, create a directory on the desktop.
- If you are forced to use a public computer, think about buying a usb thumbdrive and install http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
- when you are finished, make sure you clear out all the history and cookies from the browser you are using.

Other than that, perfect article mate.

I have used this (copy & paste letters) technique before, it wont stop more advanced software keyloggers, but great for simple hardware based devices. As for virtual keyboards, keyloggers can be configured to capture mouse movements, so if the virtual keyboard remains constant it may still be vulnerable.

BTW I friend of mine works in a call center that offer support to the people who use a paid wi-fi connection service in a lots of luxury hotels in Europe. Well, IS SCARY, what they are able to do when you use they service. As advice, I will add, that, when I have to use a public computer, I try not to type my password, to avoid keyloggers. Instead, I use ctrl+c and ctrl-v, to copy the characters I need for the pass. Not very fast, but a lot more secure. There is also some applications that you can use as a virtual keyword to lo enter the passwords, but I don't remember one right know :-/ Nice article!
