    I have been studying the U3 capabilities on a USB flash drive (see www.u3.com). The password protection looks good and the leave no trace behind looks usefull. If I were to use one in a public library machine or while traveling overseas at a public internet cafe or the like; I think I would need protection from keyloggers running on the public machine. How does U3 address this concern?

    I see that McAfee anti-virus is supported and their demo says they autorun McAfee whenever they plug up the drive to the USB port. Most likely you won't have administrator rights on the public machine.... does this reduce the security level you get?
