With many of the horror stories of Geeksquad employees copying ‘personal’ videos off of customer’s computers, many of you hesitate before sending in your porn infested computers in for repair. If you like your internet experience with some erotic flair, here are a six helpful tips to help you conceal your ugh, ehrm, ‘pRon’ stash. Porno will now be worded as ’stuff’ to avoid creaping me out while i write this.
6. Pre-emptive measures are best. Keep your ’stuff’ in a passworded .rar file. These type of measures take a while to crack and I doubt the employee would go through the trouble.
5. Keep the ’stuff’ on removal media. They cant get to it, if they don’t physically have it.
4. If your ’stuff’ must be on the PC itself, never, ever, put your image ’stuff’ in My Pictures, or your video ’stuff’ in My Videos. These places are the first place I would look if I were looking for this sort of stuff.
3. Hide your folders. Put all your ’stuff’ in a folder, and simply hide it. This might not give you total privacy, but it doesn’t hurt.
2. C:/Program Files/Nvidia Drivers/’stuff’. Who would think to look for ’stuff’ in a folder labeled Nvidia drivers? Not many people. While a simple search for .avi or .jpg will give you away, this cant hurt either.
1. The best way to conceal this stuff might be the most troublesome. Keep it online. Sure, save all the stuff you want, but re-upload to a host that allows adult content.
Simple, but straightforward ways to keep your ’stuff’ safe from prying eyes. Now to help you with your obsession of porn, well sorry bud, you’re on your own.
