Lock Your Personal Folders

After watching the previous video, you might want to know of a good way that you can lock your personal information away from prying eyes. Just like a personal file proof safe in your house, this prevents the inadvertent compromise situation. Someone gets access to your computer and is able to find some file on your computer with personal information, i.e. a tax record, birth certificate, or anything that has your social security number, passwords etc.

My Lockbox is a freeware program that allows you to password protect folders on your computer where you have personal information. It's time we all took alot more care with this data. We can't prevent that data from being accessed on companies we do business with, but you can protect it on your own computer.
