I use a hard and soft firewall, virus protection, Spam software, etc. My concern is the Windows logo screen. How difficult would it be to hack into my Windows XP computer if it's stolen? Any suggestions to make this possibility, well, impossible?
A quick question about Windows Security?computer security
Depending on the sophistication of the hackers, all they have to do is remove the hard drive to read the information on it. They can throw the rest of the computer away. There's encryption software available to help protect your information:

There's also detection devices that can alert authorities if your laptop is stolen (I heard they're also working on - or might even have - a system for desktops):

The sad fact is, all you can do is make it more difficult for the bad guys. Someone out there will find a way to defeat whatever security measures you can come up with. Even secure government computers have been hacked. Hope some of this helps.
