Travel Tips on Data Security
- After using a public computer at the airport/hotel, please take a minute to erase the history files, clear cache and cookie files.
- Make sure your portable computer is protected with its own firewall and has the most updated anti-virus software and pattern file.
- If you are connecting your computer to the hotel network, you should not be required to install any "special software". If in doubt, always check with the concierge.
