That’s why I would never check my financial accounts or anything important to me on a public computer.
Change a simple registry flag and that icon doesn't show up. For all you know, there's an admin watching you do everything. Scary. I don't use internet cafes because I know I'd forget to sign out of something and somebody might use that against me.
