Re: Security



Little drastic isn't it??
unless of course you are in a very sensitive job and then your company
should supply you with the means to secure
your work. I know I would not be encrypting the whole HD only that directory
where I saved my work to, and be aware that
it does require a "password" and as such can be cracked by someone
determined enough or worse forgotten.
A fingerprint reader is a good security measure and there are programs out
there that allow you to set them up in such a manner
that once you have saved your work to a flash drive/external HD it cannot be
accessed unless use the fingerprint reader.
This way your secure work is never on the computer.
Locks only keep honest people out...any crook determined enough will get
past any lock.

Hi,

I would like to know what is the best way to protect my PC from unauthorized
person. I can set password for my PC which I have already done so. But what
if my PC is stolen, any person can still access my hard drive. I read about
encryption from the internet? Is this the best way. If so, can i encrypt the
whole hard drive? What should I have in order to do so?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.
