   	Or shut everything else down while doing private stuff. It's hard   
   to prevent screen scraping and key logging. If someone can get a keylogger   
   into one account they can probably get it into all accounts.   
      
   	One important thing to think about when thinking about security is   
   "what is the threat" - if screen scraping and key logging are the threat   
   then a dedicated session is a good answer, if browser hacks are the real   
   threat then a separate browser is all you need.   
      
   	Always remember the only totally secure computer is turned off, in   
   a safe, buried in concrete with nobody alive who knows where it is. All   
   else is a compromise between security and usability,
