resulting in identity theft by providing secure data storage for the

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.
