How to protect your data on disc with CD/DVD Guard

CD/DVD Guard protects your valuable and confidential files through a range of security options you control.

Discover how CD/DVD Guard overcomes common security problems.

Security problem #1:
How do I prevent unwanted access to my files?

I have confidential data I want to keep away from prying eyes.

CD/DVD Guard Solution:
Password Protection

CD/DVD Guard allows you to create a password-protected disc, meaning that anyone wanting to view the contents of your files and folders must enter the correct password in order to do so. Since you set the password and you control who receives this password, you can feel safe knowing that access to your critical information is restricted.

Security problem #2:
How can I transfer sensitive data?

I need to securely transfer highly sensitive, confidential information to another party, and I want to be confident that even if I lose a disc, the information will remain secure.

CD/DVD Guard Solution:
Digital Signature

CD/DVD Guard lets you sign a disc to ensure that the information is valid and has not been manipulated in anyway. A doctor, for example, can digitally sign confidential medical files, and then distribute a public key to the disc’s recipients. The recipients can then use the key to verify the authenticity of the disc’s contents and ensure they are receiving accurate, non-tampered data.

Security problem #3:
How do I retrieve data from damaged discs?

I want to be able to retrieve my files if a disc is accidentally damaged.

CD/DVD Guard Solution:
Data Reliability

After you’ve copied all your files onto a disc, SecurDisc uses the empty space to add redundant and checksum data. This significantly increases the chances of your files being retrieved, even if the disc itself is damaged.

Security problem #4:
How can I preserve my important data over time?

Knowing that discs decay over time or can be scratched, I want to ensure that the family photos and videos I record to CDs and DVDs are preserved for years to come and don’t become unreadable.

CD/DVD Guard Solution:
Data Integrity Check

While nothing can prevent disc decay, CD/DVD Guard can save your data by notifying you that it is in danger of being lost forever, giving you time to back it up to another disc.

Burn encrypted file on dvd or cd disc

CD/DVD Guard software which will make transparent encryption using virtual cd. CD/DVD Guard software uses a real-time on-the-fly encryption system to encrypt and decrypt data. Your files are stored in the encrypted form on virtual cd with password authentication, but when it is requested by any application, it gets decrypted on-the-fly. Conversely, unencrypted data to be stored is encrypted instantaneously and then stored. CD/DVD Guard software mounts a volume file to create a “virtual cd” that appears to applications and users like any other physical drive. Any data that the user attempts to write to this drive is intercepted by kernal driver, encrypted, and written to the volume file.Attempts to read from this volume are also intercepted, and the relevant data is read by kernal driver from the volume file, decrypted, and presented to the application trying to read the data.
Dismounting the “virtual cd” ensures that data cannot be read from or written to it. All data is stored encrypted within the “container”. As far as windows is concerned, there is a ‘new’ disk that has suddenly appeared. When the program exists or the volume is unmounted, the file system stays encrypted and there is absolutely no way anyone can recover/get the data without the pass phrase.
With CD/DVD Guard software, your can burn password-protected and encrypted discs. It supports most of disk/CD/DVD, if you have a recorder and you want to burn an portable encrypted disc, please use this software.

2: Insert a blank or erasable disc into your recorder.

How to Speed Up Games on PC

With the wide variety of computer games available, the requirements can vary widely from game to game. Each computer game also has a wide range of settings available from within the game that can affect the performance. Poor performance can be caused by several issues. If your computer is not set correctly, games will run slow. Several solutions are available to improve gaming performance.

Adjust the in-game settings.
Settings such as anti-aliasing and higher screen resolution settings can cause a computer game to run slow. Adjusting these settings down can improve gaming performance. The adjustable settings in a game vary widely from game to game and the settings you would have to adjust depend on the age and specifications of your computer. Experiment with it and see if you can find the settings that best fit.
Close other programs while playing the game.
If you have other programs running in the background, this can use up memory and processor resources that may make your game run slow.
Upgrade your RAM.
Insufficient RAM can cause drastic slowdowns in a computer game. RAM is probably the most inexpensive way to improve the speed of not only your computer games, but your other computer operations as well. To play most hardware-intensive computer games, it is recommended that you have at least 1 to 2 GB of RAM.
Update your graphics card.
New graphics cards can greatly improve game performance. Graphics cards contain their own memory as well as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Be sure to check which ports are available on your motherboard so you don’t get a graphics card that doesn’t fit in any of your ports.
Upgrade your processor.
A faster processor makes a faster computer. Upgrading to a current processor may require you to purchase a new motherboard. Older motherboards may not be able to accept any of the newest processors.
Use ramdisk to speed up hdd access.
RAMDisk App Optimizer can create a RAMDisk that you can install your game on it.RAMDisk App Optimizer will make a faster game.
1. setting up the ram drive to the correct size for the game your going to install (enough space for the game and yet still leaving enough for the system to run on).
2. Then run the install routine for the game and install to the RAM drive .
3. Then run the game from the RAM drive.

How to hide pictures on computer

Folder hiding is a simple way of keeping prying eyes away from your private documents.From a human point of view it’s a good solution; what you can’t see, you don’t know you want.Encrypting a folder can have the opposite effect. The folder is visible and if access is attempted, the need to enter a password positively shouts the message that someone is trying to hide something.
Windows have a folder lock security feature to help users protect data security. However, this integrated function has a lot of shortcomings, it is hardly usable on network because sys admin can easily view the content of the locked folders, anyone who has an access/login on your computer can open locked folders, it doesn’t support FAT32 and it doesn’t work on Home edition of Windows. Furthermore, locking folders means that all users that has access to your computers can still see those folders, they just can’t open them to see files inside. Unfortunately that often opens a can of curiosity and with little searching on internet those unauthorized users can find a way to get around the protection and compromise your security by accessing your personal folders.
imlSoft Folder Guard, on the other hand is not meant to lock the folders with predefined password, it is meant to simply HIDE them, so no one can even know of their existence. It is simply more efficient not letting anyone know that you even have some confidential folders on the first place. Secondly, you can password protect the application so no one can open imlSoft Folder Guard to unhide your hidden folders. Remove the imlSoft Folder Guard from the programs menu and 99% of people wouldn’t even know that you have a folder hiding program installed on your system, yet knowing what and where those folders are. Trying to get access to a folders without knowing if they exist, their name and location is incredibly daunting task and for that matter Hide Folders in much safer that integrated Windows locking system.

Please Encrypt your USB flash drive

Why encrypt your USB flash drive?
Pendrives (USB sticks or USB drive) are really handy tools, allowing you to roam far and wide while bringing all your important documents with you. They are easy to carry and easy to use, which is great for you, but bad, bad news if your pendrive happens to fall into the wrong hands.
I just had an unpleasant episode that really reminded me of the need to have some kind of encryption on your thumb drives.I was leaving a friend’s house, got in my truck and drove home. I unloaded my pockets as usual and discovered–no thumb drive.I did find the flash drive a few minutes later, by the curb outside my friend’s house. But the whole time I was looking, I was trying to do a mental inventory of what information was on that thumb drive.Fortunately, I don’t store sensitive client information on my thumb drives. Yet, the idea of someone else finding the drive and being able to freely access the other info on the drive was not a pleasant one.
Lesson: Don’t put personal or client/work passwords or other sensitive data on a thumb drive. If for some reason you do have to have some of that information with you, make sure that information is encrypted.
You need to pre-empt any nasty accidents, so why not protect the most important documents by storing them in an encrypted partition?
How to encrypt your USB flash drive?
That’s what imlSoft USB Disk Guard  will allow you to do – create a password-protected secure area that you can only access if you have the pendrive and know the magic words. imlSoft USB Disk Guard provides an extra layer of reliable security for your pendrive.
The small utility is very easy to use, and the lack of offline help shouldn’t prove too problematic. You connect your pendrive, back-up all your data – because the program erases everything – choose the size of the secure area and press install. When you’ve finished, imlSoft USB Disk Guard will prompt you to choose a password which you will have to enter to open the secure area in the future.
Once the area is open, you’ll be able to save to it and browse as you would in any normal pendrive. Don’t forget to close it when you’re done! Uninstalling the area or changing the password isn’t a problem either, but you can only perform these actions if the area is already closed.
