Hello I have some files in my computer that are private and it's very important that they stay that way. I run windows VISTA and XP, i have heard about some systems that are fairly secure, but i'm looking for the absolute best protection for my computer. Price is not a subject i can pay alot for good protection, what choices do i have? 1. I need to protect few folders nothing else, also this computer is not connected to the internet, so internet security is not important. 2. It needs to pass through goverment inspection untouched, so i really mean heavy security. 3. Is my only choice to hire a specialist, or is there some software to fill this gap? I hope someone could help me out in this, i need this done ASAP! Thanks for any replies in advance, also open to all suggestions... and NO it's not anything illegal LOL! Sir. Uuno Turhapuro
Also, looking for some very good high quality proxy service, it needs to be ultra fast and secure! Let me know if you know.... Sir. Uuno Turhapuro
pgp drive encryption is considered by most to be the most secure way to store info. I believe you can buy it from pgp.com. It is expensive, so it's good that price isn't a problem.
Copy all your data to a removable drive and unplug it from your computer. From online hacking you will be safe then.
I would recommend Utimaco's SafeGuard Easy. It will encrypt your whole hard drive and will ask for authentication before the OS loads. This means that physical access will be limited, as no one would be able to bypass the OS authentication with something like ERD, and reset your password. If you plan to connect this computer to another network, i would recommend the Lan Crypt, as it will guard specific folders. One thing though. Dont loose your password. Ive seen this too many times.
thanks for the advice, i hope the hard drive encryption will be enough when my computer faces the power of finnish polices labs... lol!
