Question OS encrypting?

  #1  
Feb 21st, 2008
Hi,

I hope I`m right here with my question but if not sorry, anyway here it is:

The company that I'm working for, small one no IT department, want to buy an encryption software (we found on Google CompuSec, DiskProtect, DriveCrypt Plus Pack...) to fully encrypt the OS partition and also the other partitions. We also hope for a customer support from the selling company of the software. I would like to know if someone here has any idea about this softwares? What would be better? We are running on Win XP Professional OS.

Any help is appreciated!
Thnx

Hi

You can encrypt the whole drive with EFS, Windows own Encryption.

If you want a program, then I'd suggest reading this http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2091.html

If you need a hand using Windows' own Encryption, I'd be willing to write our instructions for you.

If you are runnig windows on all pc i suggest you use the Windows Encryption. ( much easier to use) and less like to cause problems. However, here is a good program you can try Private Disk
