Palm Harbor, FL (PRWEB) June 29, 2004 -- An effective method of preventing
sensitive information from being harvested has become even more important to
computer users since the recent outbreak of the "Scob" virus. This virus steals
confidential information, such as passwords, online banking information and
credit card numbers, from infected computers. Another threat to security comes
from the fact that virus transmission is no longer limited to email &
network delivery. Virus writers have found a new way to distribute their
malicious payload by converting popular websites into virus
transmitters.
Tech Assist Inc, a leading provider of computer security
applications and utilities, introduces tools to help prevent virus infections
from resulting in identity theft by providing secure data storage for the SMB
and consumer marketplace. Hide-A-FileTM, along with KeyPerTM, a unique
software/hardware (dual authentication) combination, enables users to safeguard
the sensitive data on their PCs, as well as preventing credit card, password,
and identity theft.
Hide-A-FileTM allows a user to create hidden
partitions, with assignable drive letters into which the files to be hidden are
simply dragged-and-dropped, copied & pasted, etc., into the protected
partition. When the USB CryptoKeyTM (hardware component) is removed, the virtual
partitions disappear without a trace, making important information stored within
them completely inaccessible. Only the insertion of the USB CryptokeyTM and the
password (dual authentication) make the hidden partitions visible again. This
combination provides the user with virtually hack-proof, secure storage for
financial data, contacts, photos, videos, etc. Any individual who searches the
user’s computer without the proper permissions AND assigned USB CryptoKeyTM will
be unable to view the partitions and will not "see" the data.
KeyPerTM functionality utilizes
the onboard memory of the USB CryptoKeyTM to store vulnerable data, such as
Internet resources, passwords and banking information. It also is an effective
"Identity Management" tool, because personal information is not stored on the
computer but on the USB CryptoKeyTM. By copying and pasting personal information
from the USB CryptoKeyTM, keystroke capture programs used for identity theft,
such as the "Scob" virus, are bypassed. Unplug the USB CryptoKeyTM and personal
information goes with you, wherever you go.
In today's world, you can
never be too safe or too secure. Hide-A-FileTM and KeyPerTM effectively
eliminate the worry associated with data & identity theft at home and at
work.
