Privacy Issue : BIOS Password and Protect Your Files

This month we are gonna give our spotlight on how to protect your information and privacy issue for personal computer.

Many readers often asks how to protect a file or how to shield a particular folder from outsiders. What will you do if you don't wan't another person to have access to a particular folder which has personal piece of information.

To safeguard form that situation use Encrypted Magic Folder. A nice utility that  can hide your folder or you can encrypt your folder, so that no body can have access to it witout the password you entered to encrypt the folder. Encrypted Magic Folders (EMF) provides automated & transparent  encryption!  Simply select folders whose files you want encrypted and EMF not only makes those folders and files completely invisible to others but decrypts and encrypts the files automatically and transparently as you use them.  You won't even notice the encryption as EMF does all the work behind the scenes.  Access to your encrypted files will be so normal and fast you'll probably forget you're using encrypted files. 

If you wish, you can establish 5 different accounts so everyone using  your computer can create invisible and encrypted folders only they have  access to. 

The method used to by EMF to encrypt your folders is proprietary.  It combines good security with excellent speed.  THERE IS NO BACKDOOR.  If you forget your password there is nothing we can do to decrypt your files.  You can get the latest version from <http://www.PC-Magic.com> There are other very good encryption software like it (Another is Access Denied 2.0 or Folder Guard ) which you can use for privacy puposes.

Another issue we found recently from our readers emails and letters, that is how to give password at the booting postion from bios so that no body can run the computer without proper passoword.

You can give password in BIOS (basic input output system) where you can enter by pressing F2 or Del key when you first turn on your pc. Look for the message press "Del or F2" to enter setup or bios. Once you enter the BIOS,  look for BIOS FEATURE SETUP, once you get in there, find "Security Option" : and make it 'Setup'. To change a value, select it, and then press pageup or pagedown. Then Press Esc to get out from there and find "User Password" , now press enter on it and give the password. You have to confirm it again. Then select; Save and Exit option.  [ Here we discussed most common bios AWARD modular Bios, but there are some other BIOS which have different setup. For that, better see your motherboard manual. ]

Caution: BIOS is a very critical part of computer and if you change anything which you don't have proper knowledge of, then you run the risk of making you pc not to run properly. So don't modify any value, if accidentaly you do so, then select "Exit witout Saving". Also don't forget the password (so choose a simple one), if you forget password you can't run your pc !! It's advisable for new users not to get into BIOS, better tell someone more experienced to do it for you.
