Computer Security & Viruses/Keeping delicate info safe

Question
What is the best way to protect my important information(passwords, and sensitive information) on my computer, in case, it gets stolen, or someone gets on my pc?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Sallie,
You could enable your Boot Logon access. You can access the program thru your F2 option when boot up starts.
I use this option myself as well as the Windows logon.
You can also encrypt your sensitive info. There are programs that allow you to pick your sensitive files and encrypt them.

Hope this helps.
