John,
I wouldn't worry too much to be honest. I work in an internet cafe and I see a lot of people with this concern when they come here to use our computers. Is it possible to get your details? Well it is - but is it practical? No way...
You can do some things that will protect you though:
- Use firefox whenever you can, and click on options "Clear private data" when you've finished;
- If using IE go to tools - Internet Options and Delete Cookies, files and clear history;
- Most of the cafes will use a software similar to "Norton Go Back" (otherwise the pc blows up, too much crap) and that clears up all the data when the computer restarts, so get it restarted after you've finished;
- If you're really worried install ccleaner (really quick to download) and run it on the computer;
- You can download an anti-spyware, run an anti-virus etc
The list is endless really, but that should do a good start.
