    Is there any user-friendly GUI-plugin style encryption softward compatible with the new Firefox 4? I have been using FireGPG and it no longer works.

    Thanks!

    Found a program, WINPT

    http://winpt.gnupt.de/int/?p=201

    It works :). It's not a plugin, it's standalone, and just works with content copied to your clipboard, as well as files.

    I use OpenPGP & Enigmail with Kleopatra for key management. Do a search for gpg4win-2.1.0.
    It's really good. Simple, easy and seems to be very secure.

    Windows 7? Yeah, simple. Got a twelve gauge shotgun? Might as well call it your computer's last days, is all I'm gonna say!

    Seriously though, it depends on your system. Is it a netbook, laptop, or desktop? What OS do you prefer? And are there drivers available for your system components in the OS preferred? Me, I'm a die hard XP fan. Because anything older can't do what I want (or I'd be Win 3.1) and anything newer totally sucks (I tried Win 7) IF it can do what I want.

    My suggestion is, if it's possible (which isn't always so with some laptops and very few netbooks) get another hard drive and install the OS of your choice, as well as the most recent upgrades for that OS, including the drivers for your components. See how your system works with the OS. This way if it doesn't work, all you have to do is switch out the hard drives.

    Bad news though, odds are you'll lose anything saved in Win 7.

    There is a program out there that'll nuke your drive and scrub it clean, but I only suggest that for worse case scenarios with viruses and malware you can't ditch. Because in this case if you nuke your drive and it turns out the drivers won't operate your system components in the preferred OS, you're really screwed. Especially if you have a warranty.

    I hate it too, but it's not my computer and I can't for the life of me fathom why the owner hasn't ditched 7.. XP was working just fine.

    Well so far he (the computer owner) has been able to get past the first glitch, I'm at the point where I enter my info to get my key. So we shall see... he has multiple computers with other OS that he could have used, I don't know why he insists on trudging through with this particular one. Ah well, he's doing me a favor so I'm not really in the position to criticize. I'll keep the suggestions in mind, thanks.

    Get an external hard drive for your own use...?
