Available encryption softwares do not suffice they are complex, not user friendly. One should enter a CD & it should ask for a password to run. The data should not be accessible without password. It should be able to hide all data inclusive of Presentations, Videos, Photos anything.

There is no secure "password scheme" that doesn't involve some sort of encryption. If you don't have encryption, your data is on the disk "in the clear." Anyone with a binary disk reader can easily get it.\n\nTake Windows, for example. Windows doesn't use encryption to protect your files, but it can be configured to password-protect your account. There are hundreds of programs available that can easily reset a Windows password and give anyone access to your files.\n\nEncryption software is no more complex than your word processor, and some encryption software is user-friendly (PGP, WinZip). If you want to keep your data secure, you need encryption.

If you are concerned about data security there is a program called TrueCrypt that lets you mount a "virtual" drive that is very secure. It is a virutal drive in the since that the OS treats it like a real drive, but it need not be. You can actually just have it as an existing file on your system. The contents of the drive are scrambled using a very strong symmetric cipher. You can even give it some random data as a salt to combine with your password, so that it will be less vulnerable to dictionary attacks. TrueCrypt has several advantages, first you don't have to delete the file to be secure. It is cross platform you can open a true crypt "drive" on Windows or Linux and soon the Mac. It offers plausable deniability. You can secondarily encrypt part of the drive with a different passphrase so that you can appear to cooperate with any information requests, while still restricting access.\n\nIf you are getting rid of the data there is a program called "Boot and Nuke" it is basically a bootable Linux CD that has an application that allows you to securely wipe the drive. You should have it make 12-15 passes or 30 if you are paranoid, and then you can feel pretty secure that no one can recover the contents of the drive.

for games, movies and application u can use Azureus,  for video it is limewire, this are the fastest among the secured site, better not use unsecured site coz it might cost u to losse all data

NO NO NO! even if you have security (anti-virus) still there is threat... yes! some are undetectable... because their binary code is compressed which cannot be scanned by AV... so i think you got it.... having Av too has minimum threats... without Av... MAXIMUM RISK!

That's like saying that any prison can be broken out of, so just tear them all down and let the criminals go... Or any lock can be picked so why not just leave your doors wide open? You overestimate the skill level of the average person trying to break into a system. 99.99% of them are just bored kids with software that other people wrote, who will give up if there's even a firewall, an look for an easier target. Just like any thief.

this cd maybe protect of copy or need to clean \ntry to use programes like "VirtualDrive" that copy all the cd data and ignore reading problems

Not sure why you want to avoid an "encrypted zone" on your HD??? You could drag a folder/file in there and poof, encrypted!\nSuggest you look at the following...\nhttp://www.cypherix.co.uk/downloads.htm\nhttp://www.truecrypt.org/

theres thousands of sites\nmost are very discreet for obvious reasons and hard to find\n\nbut ur best bet is bittorent or a file-share program

Its pretty logic that its illegal...\n\nIf its legal, then why PASSWORD?\n\nAlso, lets get it this way, how is it legal to access someones private data? This is privacy violation...

because the disk is encrypted so it can't be copied thus the decrypter

I'm a professional security consultant.  You're getting a lot of opinions here, but the obvious is being overlooked -- there is no such thing as a best solution.  Your correct choice depends on what you're trying to protect!  Just because you're a home user doesn't mean that the Windows firewall is good enough.  What if you bring home sensitive documents from work?  What if you keep your entire personal financial data and history on the same computer that's connected to the Internet?  Obviously, then, what is adequate for one person isn't necessarily adequate for another.  Now, with that in mind, here's my advice:  if you are an average home user with a home PC with some games and maybe the kids' homework on it, then the firewall built in to Windows will be good enough.  If your PC at home has your personal financial data on it (maybe your Quicken files), then purchase an external firewall/router from the store -- one of the relatively inexpensive Netgear boxes, maybe.  If you bring sensitive data home from work, or your PC contains your life's history, then you should consider a more powerful firewall (Astaro is great for this -- www.astaro.com -- you can get a home use license for about $75 a year that enables all the features and subscriptions).  Configuring an Astaro, however, requires some technical expertise.  Personally, I've been using Astaro firewalls for years and they are the hacker's nightmare from hell.\n\nI hope this helps you!

Two proposal :\n1- On control panel click on User accounts and define an account yourself and activate password protection for it \nI should say if you are administrator of computer you can do this .Create another limited account for other members of family so they can not use your account at windows start up and they must choose limited account and as an administrator of computer you can save your files on adminstrator folder in documents and settings and your data \nwill be private .you must start your computer in safe mode and activate password for each account except limited acounts that you have created it before for family members.\n2- If your format is FAT32 you can not to encrypt your files or folders but if you format your hard drive as NTFS \nyou will be able to encrypt them.

create a password that nobody knows. that is all i can think of

Dangerous.\n\nIt'd be WAY too big of a target for electronic sabotage. Sooner, rather than later, people are going to find ways to bypass any and all security mechanisms that can be placed on the devices and their data stores.

Its password protected for a reason.  Only the administrator can give you the password to gain access.
