When internet access has became more and more popular, internet cafe started to suffer from lack of customers. They are still very popular in areas where the connection to the internet is very rare but I have found that I always suggest people that if they are using internet only for few hours and are not very familiar with the computers to use an internet cafe. Why? Because it is much safer for them and their personal data. Data that usually can contain details of their bank account number and password to it. They are not aware that their computer without special tools installed is like a pub that every one can enter and pour him self everything he wants. You can say that interet cafes are not cheap. I know that if you are using Internet more than few hours a week than cheaper way is to get your own intenet connection at home but if it is less than two hours a month than it is waste of money. But lest get back to the term of protection. Internet cafes have alway installed all you need to not get infected by virus. They have web filter installed which protects you from dangerous web sites. The Internet cafe which I was using was always suggesting their clients that they should consider installing an anti spam program which include such important thing like a Spam filter .
