CHECK THE BACK OF THE PC AND SEE IF THIS DEVICE IS THERE…IF INSIST ON REMOVING IT…
This storage device fits at the end of the keyboard cable connecting to the PC. It specializes in saving save all typed keys in it… Mostly could be used in net cafes, exhibitions, hotels and airports therefore please be careful especially when using the internet in these places to enter your bank accounts on-line or any other important sites.
After you enter the bank account and leave the PC it will be easy to open your account again as everything you had typed will have been saved in the Black device.
Everyone is thus requested to check the PC for any suspicious piece behind it before using the net in public places.

I think it’s called key-logger. And as far as I know, there’s a software version of it. So a common net-surfer can do pretty much nothing, if the cyber-cafe owner really wants to log(save) the key-strokes.
Trained eyes can(hopefully) figure it out in the task-manager, which shows all the processes(programs) running at that particular instance.
The best way to avoid it is; ’stay away from making online transactions if you are in publicly shared PCs’.
