Trusting Windows to encrypt your data. Trusting ANY M$ security......
Heres 2 basic but unforgotten security measures:
1:Figure someone, sometime, somehow is gona get in and at the least snoop around for something like a CC number.Use encryption software that leaves no 'backdoor' or master key. Make the key string damn long and damn screwy. Say like- 531purpledogspeegreenstring291feetlong It'll take'm more years than its worth to brute force that one!
2:Get a file shredder. The Windows delete function just removes the read/wright tag from the file and opens the cluster(s) to be written to. Even after the cluster(s) have been written over several times, the data can still be recovered.
3:Shred the original. What goods encryption if the original is just lying around wating to be found?? >_<
All of the above software types can be found for free on the net. Try www.cnet.com/downloads for a freebie, shareware, or just buy some...or shareware/crack/keygen......but I didn't say that...o
Just a thought, but with the sheer amount of security leaks in M$ Windows products as a whole, does anyone really want to use their firewall?? If it works 10 times better than Windows security in general, that ship would still sink before it left the dock!! :flame:
