All computers leave behind what is called a "cookie" which is information about where you have been on the internet. The use of a public computer is OK if you wipe out all cookies and log in information after you are done. Also someone could install a key stroke tracker on a public system and have the data sent to their personal computer.
Your own personal computer with your own secure log in and virus/malware protection is more secure. I will use a public system if there is no other option, but not my preference. Then only for e-mail, never financial transactions.
