I was thinking I might make the minimum payment on my credit card on-line, but then had second thoughts. How secure would a public computer be in Spain, or anywhere else for that matter?

2. I understand that is not safe to book a flight and pay via internet by credit card, so... is it better to just booked and anyone back home pay cash?
3. Have you experiences any viruses in those computers? I got a 16 GB memory stick traveller data for storing my photos (camera has only a 1 GB memory data), so I don't wanna lose (erase or smth) those precious memories.
Thank you!

To be absolutely sure, buy a 2 GB memory data for your camera, and ask for a DVD in big cities with your photos. But I don't think it's necessary. Today, a enough antivirus is so cheap that you can find it wherever, even in the Camino Albergues.
I have heard of people that create DVDs of their photos and mailing it home. Then you would have:Javier Martin said:Rocknroll said:...2. I understand that is not safe to book a flight and pay via internet by credit card, so... is it better to just booked and anyone back home pay cash?
