How secure are you?

With identity theft steadily increasing over the last 10 years, it’s important for computer users to really make sure they keep on top of everything they do on their computers. Some may be thinking “Oh, it’ll never happen to me – I have a difficult ten+ character password for all of my accounts!”. This doesn’t mean it still can’t happen to you. Just sending out an email, you send out more of your computer information than you realize. It’s important to be secure in what you do, it’s really not that difficult either.

It’s kind of rare to come across a website that offers you a highly secure and free program to protect your confidential and personal information. One of my newest bookmarks is SecureZIP – The next generation of ZIP. With this program you can secure information stored on PCs such as tax records, bank statements, medical records, passwords and other private data all with the click of a button. You can automatically protect email messages and attachments sent to friends, family, banks, accountants and others that you normally would share sensitive information with. This program integrates flawlessly with Microsoft Outlook?Ç¬Æ to automatically encrypt, digitally sign and zip email messages and attachments.

I downloaded the program just to test it out and it’s fairly simple to use, you can download it for yourself at www.securezip.com. It’s a completely free download and only requires a valid email address to get your hands on it. Use it to keep yourself secure. With all of the terrible things that can be done to users online with the smallest bit of information, why not look for a way to protect yourself? If you happen to come across a free program like SecureZIP, I’m sure you’d realize the importance of taking advantage of this offer as well.
