Wouldn’t it be kind of insecure to be plugging your private data into public places?
In theory, the publicly available terminals could very well have their own system under the hood, wired into the hardware, just so they can run some keylogging or recording of everything that goes through the peripherals, including the screen, without the plugged OS being able to know, right?
The bad guys in those shows/games could have hijacked the terminals so they can take remote control of the inputs when an OS is inserted and wreak havoc. Dr. Wily could have messed with some terminals so that when Megaman saves its progress on them parts of his brain are saved with different data, so when it’s restored you’ll get a different/evil Megaman.
But it’s not something the plugged OS can do anything about, because the malware is not running on it.
It’s an attack that uses hardware, you can’t use antivirus against that, you’d need a person to physically manipulate the circuitry in the keyboard/monitor or whatever peripheral that is being manipulated.

I think thats what megaman was in one of the cartoons, they would send him in to fight viruses
You would have your own personal antivirus/virus ai that battles others to get stronger, if you lose they get your data lol
