Normally I do not store some important personal files on my hard disk. It is
somehow inconvenient to access my file from CD or other devices, I would
like to access it direct from my hard disk but I am afraid of my privacy.
So, I would like to know how far Win XP's encryption is safe. Is it 100%
safe? If it is 100% safe could I encrypt my Outlook Express Folder?

I use ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall latest version, accordingly whenever I was
online within a short time so many people have been trying to access my
computer, due to this long time experience I consider it as a normal
behavior. So, now I would like to know is it happens to everybody who goes
online?

I do appreciate any useful opinion or advice.

Regards,

Aci
