Lets say you have a hotmail account and you check it on someone elses computer. Is there any possible way people can still read you yahoo or hotmail emails although logged out or perhaps having even deleted emails? Some Temp file or something? Just wondering and thanks for your geeky help
The King Geek replies: I believe Hotmail has security options that you check before you sign in Security Options (what's this?) : _Public/shared computer (Increased security). _Keep me signed in to this and all other .NET Passport sites unless I sign out. _Neither In Yahoo, select secure when you log in to Mail. Then just logout when you are done. rH
any of the email you read on the computer could be read easily by somebody else. I'm willing to bet even if you select the secure login on hotmail. However they only can read the pages you read none of the links will probably work with out a PW.
Every page you visit (even in hotmail) is saved to your hard drive. Therefore if you login, read your mail and then logout and leave the computer, anyone that knows what they are doing can go through your temporary internet files folder and look at every page you've visited - this includes all the emails you have opened. However if, for example you open you inbox, then logout, someone else can view your inbox, but none of the links will work. You must be logged in to do this. Now the easy part. To make sure noone can look at the pages you have visited simply click on the Tools menu (if using IE5 or later), select Internet Options, and then in the dialog box that appears click Delete Files. In IE 4 or earlier, I think you get to the same box, by clicking View->Internet Options (someone correct me if I am wrong). If using Netscape (why?), click Edit->Preferences, then expand the Advanced option and select Cache. Click the buttons that clear your cache (I think there is 2 - disk cahce and memory cache). Hope this helps.
wwwhack.com is a program that you can download (guess the url to get it) to get into any hotmail account plus many other illegal things...this message self destructs in 5..4..3..
