 Hidden Stuff on Your Computer
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
Jerry Seregni
Location: Harahan Senior Center
100 Elodie St., Harahan, LA 70123
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. When personal computers first appeared they were considered toys. The IBM PC changed that in 1982, but MS-DOS was never really intended for commercial use. Since all Windows file systems today are derived from the DOS file system, all versions of Windows lack adequate security to some degree.
Knowing where hidden information is stored and how it gets there is the first step towards improved computer security. Jerry Seregni will share his favorite tricks and tools for improving hard disk security and safe-guarding your privacy. Users of all skill levels will benefit from this revealing look at the ‘nooks and crannies’ of the Windows file system and how you can shut the door before your identity escapes.”
The meeting is open to everyone. Guests are invited to participate free of charge.

When are Passwords too secure?
When there is an emergency and no one knows them! Be sure to give someone you trust a list of your User Id's and Passwords in case of emergency.
Did You Know?
If you registered your domains with Network Solutions, they are prepared to honor last wills and testaments. Your executor will have no problems transfering domain names into your heirs names, so be sure to include them in your will.
