Title: Truecrpyt help from veterans?
Post by: RIPDonnasummer on May 22, 2012, 04:02 am
Hey guys I have a couple questions I am concerned about...

1. Truecrypt has been downloaded to my laptop and I find it super confusing. I am want to encrpyt my entire operating system but I simply do not get it. I have read thru their tutorial and i still have no clue what im doing. Does anyone have any advice that can dumb this down for me a little bit? I am a pretty smart dude I am just a little frustrated and could use some assistance

2. I want to put tor on a usb drive and encrpyt that. However I have been using tor downloaded to my laptop? How do I remove it from the laptop? can i just use a file shredder?

3. I am just a very small buyer in the states but freaked out about security. I just want to protect myself and it seems like the smartest thing I can do since I have already been using my computer to buy is to just encrypt the whole thing? Do any pros disagree?

any other words of wisdom here will help.
