Interesting and valuable advice so far. Thanks!

Keyloggers seem to come in many shapes and sizes, and short of doing a scan or actually digging around on the hard drive to look, they are fairly difficult to discover.
That being said, I *didn't* see them as often as other privacy issues on public computers (they actually were a relative rarity, and became virtually non-existent when a set maintenance plan was put in place). We had more issues with people logging into their bank accounts and either not bothering (or not being able) to log out.
