Is there a way I can use my external hard drive
while using Internet Explorer and Outlook Express? I security concerned and thought if I have these files on the external drive where I can disconnect it from the PC when I'm not using it. I already keep my doc financial files on it. Would like to be able to do the same when I access my bank account, etc......TNX |

Your paranoid.
Outlook Express is part of win, as is IE, they will thus be installed on your boot drive with win. If on the other hand you want to stop other people at your location accessing your PC there are other ways. PS you have a backup of your data? perhaps a second external drive?

Why? I thought Hackers or Phishers could get
ahold of names and passwords while you're on the web? Yes I am paranoid but I've had my Visa compromised 3 times this year. No damage, bank caught it, but it's a paid in the next to have to let all you autopays know the new number. So are you saying just keep your Word, Excel & PDF's, in anotherwords things that contains personal info that one saves on the external hard drive ? "Jonny" wrote in message ...

It's important to keep your PC system clean. Hackers only visit your
system when you work with your pc. |

Okay and Thanks for the info. But what about
hackers getting to stored e-mail messages? This is what I was more concerned about since they are stored on the hard drive. I think I pretty well have the hardware covered with a Firewall / Malware checker / Virus protections and pop up stopper. And I don't go to something I'm not sure of.
