Proven Security and Free Tools You Need Now

Published by Crystal on February 20th, 2013 - in Computer Security, Protect Your Identity


 

An article by PC World caught my eye, “Tools for the Paranoid” .  So I went and downloaded the Security Tools for passwords and encrypting data.

KeePass is Free and comes highly recommended by PC World.  A brief description: “You can store your passwords in highly-encrypted databases, which can only be unlocked with one master password and/or a key file. A database consists of only one file that can be transferred from one computer to another easily. The program supports password groups, in which you can sort your passwords into. You can drag-n-drop passwords into almost any other window. The auto-type feature types your login information into other windows automatically (just press a hot key). Fast copying passwords or user names to the Windows clipboard is possible by just double-clicking on the specific field in the password list.”

The last part of the description is important, because you may have a malware key logger on your computer and not even know it.

TrueCrypt is another security tool highly recommended with 5 star ratings. Please read PC World’s full TrueCrypt Review here.

Free Anti Malware Tool

Published by Crystal on November 10th, 2012 - in Commercial Security, Computer Security, Protect Your Identity, Self Defense Products

 

 

If your computer is running slow you may have downloaded Malware somewhere along the lines. For Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows XP you can download for FREE, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free. <click here<

I scanned my computer, and from normal every day web browsing, there were TONS of Malware loaded on it. This program removed them! The PC is now running smoothly.

 

From PC World:  “Whether you know it or not your computer is always at risk of becoming infected with viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and malware that are constantly evolving and becoming harder to detect and remove. Only the most sophisticated anti-malware techniques can detect and remove these malicious programs from your computer. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware.”

 

Any links within our posts that are blue are clickable hot links that take you to the referenced material. When you go to download the Anti Malware, don’t click on the “sponsored link” that is just an ad. Click below it, where it says “TRY IT FREE” right below their sponsored ad.

Published by Crystal on November 5th, 2012 - in Commercial Security, Computer Security, Data Wipe, Home Safety, Home Safety Products, Protect Your Identity

 

There are many reasons why you would want to download and use Eraser!

To remove sensitive data you wouldn’t want seen, or if you’re selling your computer, or recycling. Before you get rid of your data drives, you should for FREE, download from CNET Download Eraser. This program allows you to overwrite any files and they can not be recovered!

CNET’s Description:
“Eraser is an advanced security tool for Windows that allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Guttmann’s paper Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory and are selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.
Other methods include the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the U.S. Department of Defense, and overwriting with pseudorandom data. You can also define your own overwriting methods.”

Facebook Google Password Security

Published by Crystal on August 9th, 2012 - in Computer Security, Home Safety, Home Safety Products, Parents and Children, Protect Your Identity

 

 

This info graphic demonstrates the importance of Password Safety. Are you safe online?

Think of a good password, something that is not related to your Private Information such as your Birthday or Anniversary, Address etc. That information is readily available online; unless you’ve taken the precaution of hiding that information from Facebook and Google, of course.
Once you have a good password, don’t use all lower case letters! Use a capital letter somewhere in it and use some numbers in the mix. Some websites even require that you use a special character such as ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ).

Microsoft is providing an update for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. The update revokes the trust of the following intermediate CA certificates:

  • Microsoft Enforced Licensing Intermediate PCA (2 certificates)
