Internet cafes have had lousy security for a long time. Especially the ones that can't afford the license fees for a new set of WinXP so carry on using Win98/IE5.
The first thing I do is call up the task manager and disable/kill any processes I don't like the look of.
If the cafe gives me access to the process manager, then they probably don't have a clue about security.

If possible, try to find a cafe that uses Linux... there are a growing number of them around.
