Protect your information: encrypt!

There a lot of programs to encrypt your files, folders or devices (pen drives, hard disks, etc).

I recommend you a free open source software, it works with your Windows XP/Vista/200/2003 and Linux operative system: truecrypt

It´s very easy to use, and for example you can create a file with 700/800 MB or 4,7 GB of capacity and then save this file in your cd/dvd recorder, or you can create a file with the capacity of your choice to save it in your usb pen drive. You can even encrypt your hard disk/pen drive entirely: your information will always be encrypted and safe.

You only need to have this program installed. Once created this encrypted file you only need to load it with truecrypt, type your password, click on “mount” and a new folder will be created in “My PC” to read or storage your information. When you finish click on “dismount” and this folder will dissapear from “My PC”. Nobody will know what kind of file you have in your computer, only the choosen name of this file.
