I have a password on the Office PC, for bootup, screensaver, etc via my
user
account.

I just found out, that there's a website, www.loginrecovery.com, whereby
one
dowloads a program onto a floppy or CD.

You then insert this disk into the PC, boot it up and it copies the
windows
encrypted file which contains all the info about all user accounts on that
PC
and shuts it back down so no one is aware that someone tampered with this
PC.

You then upload the info to that website and via email they send you back
withing 2 business days all the user names, passwords. If you need it
rush,
they'll send it back withing 10 mintues for 10 Euros. (Looks like they're
in
Europe.)

Is there any protection, software or hardware against such hackers?

I need this ASAP.

Thanks

Don't let people you don't trust have physical access to your computer.
