Stay Secure

- Missing link in computer security: Is your computer really secure? If you have antivirus software, malware scanners and a firewall, you might think you're safe from hackers, crackers and identity thieves.

- Viruses in PDF files?: Many people are surprised to learn they can also be infected by .pdf files - the ubiquitous Portable Document Format, made popular by Adobe.
Hide Stuff
- Password Safe: I've used it for years. Stores your login username/passwords, will create passwords as complex as needed, will remember all those weird passwords some sites require (how many "&" and "$" can you remember?). You only need remember the one password to log in to Password Safe.
- TrueCrypt: Use TrueCrypt to encrypt data on USB or Flash drives, or external hard drives. Encrypt data you really don't want anybody to read, except yourself. (I would have loved this as a young girl, to keep my brothers from reading my diary!)
Browse Anonymously
- Vidalia: There are others out there, some that have a fee, some that are free. Some are more secure than others, some are harder to use than others. I like this one. It's free, it's fairly secure, it's fairly easy to set up, fairly easy to use. I'm not a superspy hacker dude, I just want to be able to surf some places somewhat untraceably. Vidalia does the job.
- A pretty decent guide to things TOR.
