Hi Guys,

I am using Windows XP Home Edition (FAT-32 FILE SYSTEM)and Internet Explorer-7.

· I would like to give password to files, folders, icons, etc., but my friend says that any password-protected can be searched and found out easily and definitely by a well-talented person by using Softwares or by any means for the purpose. Is it correct and true? If not agree with these, then what is the completely free Software for secrecy? Name of the FREE Software for the purpose? If I delete any password-protected files, folders, icons and (at the same time reinstall the same) softwares not putting the correct passward, it will accept it or refuse it?


· When I am online, a dialogue Box appears often and says as below:

SECURITY ALERT

You are about to leave a secure Internet connection. It will be possible for others to view information you send.

Do you want to continue?

Yes No

How to solve the problem?


· When I shut down my Computer, a dialogue box states that
Connections tray

End Program (not successful).

How to correct it?

1)It is possible for a hacker to find passwd of a passwd locked file.But now new file locking software feature stronger encryption(AES,blowfish)which is very difficult to crack.2)The warning u get in IE7 is normal just hit yes.

Hi COOL G5,

Are both AES and blowfish completely free? I cannot understand the line "The warning u get in IE7 is normal just hit yes. Can you explain it simply?

a l33t and determined h4x0r can and will break into any system he/she wants 2

Pentagon's security has often been breached and recently UK was @ d reciving end of such an attack - 2 countries dat have unarguably d largest budget allocation 4 protection against such attacks

now compare ur computer with theirs ;)

but dat does not mean dat u leave ur computer open to any intrusion

if not d Chinese h4x0rs, u can @ least protect ur computer from being broken in2 by ur parents ;)

I second entrana, what's it that you're hiding and how important it is to anyone anyway? Just be basic with a proper logical mind and a set of simple tools and you can avoid all threats with ease. If you're aiming to be a l33t then you would never be asking anyone anything.
