Increased Security

DianaT - 7-24-2008 at 09:16 AM

Since I often use a public computer at the Internet Cafe, I notice the little box that can be checked when logging in---the one that says increased security for public computers.

What does it do?

Just curious. Thanks

Also, remember to log off when using a computer at a cafe'.
A year or 2 ago, another Nomad that followed me into a cafe' and noticed that I had not logged off; oops. And thanks again whoever you are !

One of my big regrets that I didn't have more fun with that one, but I had not met you yet.

Ah, but now, I would get you in so much trouble. :P:P So beware, and do log off.

My memory fails me on the purpose of that box but go ahead and check it and see if it makes you feel more secure. :lol:

Not sure Diane, but My guess would be...it would request server certificates...or something like that. You then would have to over ride to get in the URL. More work, but less accidents.
