Hi guys, I'm hoping this is a security question that's why I'm posting it here!
Can any of you guys recommend a password protector for my important bank and personal finance folders and files? My neighbors and friends always borrow my computer and I feel unsafe.
I'm willing to use freeware, or spend up to 25 bucks. Thanks!
