How to protect your email and files on your computer from prying eyes

Security on your computer is of the utmost importance - and, unfortunately, some people take this issue too lightly. It only takes one devastating attack to lose all of the information on your computer - which is when you will be wishing you had taken necessary precautions to protect files stored on your hard-drive.


Be sure that a password is required to gain access to the computer - and that it is not easily by-passed by pressing 'escape' or something like that. Also, visit the following website: www.notebookshop.com to find out about an excellent PC security application called 'AntiCyber Crime'. Here is a description of the product from the site:
