I have seemed to lost all control over my news reader "NEWS BIN PRO 4.12"
as soon as a picture is downloaded it's gone within 3 seconds. What really has me worried is that i only download from "young gay male groups" and if these pictures are rebounding all over my hard drive i need to find them before my parents do. One other odd thing also, the locked folder i keep all of my past photo's is now empty and the only way to unlock that folder was with my password "sweet ham" so i pissed and scared at the same time. Please tell me about a news reader that won't hide my pictures on me.

You need to get drivecrypt or bestcrypt or something dude ...

specially if you really meant to say "really young gay male groups".

It might be a good idea to change that password too, now that you've told the entire world about it!

If you're really worried about it, don't rely on the normal 'delete'
functions either; they don't remove data, just shift the 'index card' out of the 'index'. I think Symantec ('Norton') have a utility to /really/
remove stuff from the hard disc, including repeatedly writing 1s and 0s to the surface of the disc so as to try and eliminate any residual data that might be recoverable.

Also keep your 'anti-virus' software up-to-date; who knows what might be smuggled onto your computer disguised as (or hidden in) image files.
