Then I just need to remember the password. 11 minutes ago, Catherine said: Absolutely! I have one such file, on an encrypted drive, password-protected, that I use to keep the historical info for all those sites where you have to keep such records. Last time I checked, it was over 27 pages long. I've had that one file for over twenty years now. Page and a half a year? I carry, on a lanyard around my neck, a 128GB flash drive, that contains an Excel spreadsheet, with all the accounts I have to log in, user names, and passwords. Currently over 300. The Excel file is password protected, as well as the flash drive. I only HAVE to remember 2 passwords. It is impossible for any person to remember all the different usernames and passwords needed, to do a business like ours. I also have, encrypted backup files for all my tax programs, and other important documents, on the flash drive as well. If I leave the house, it goes around my neck. I have a complete backup of all data files on a separate external drive at home as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 AVG's update messed with Windows Explorer or another computer. It was not encrypted, so I was able to perform a system restore. My work computer has been limping along every since I got it back from shop. I was continually having to force stop Explorer and run a new one or restart the computer totally when it had done enough work or sat too long (whatever windows decided was enough) . I uninstalled AVG and after some research, I installed Comodo. I don't know if that will help, but at least Windows has been alive for several hours. AVG reinstalled the update on the other computer and it went crazy again. I may install a different antivirus on it, to see if it works better with Windows 7 than Comodo. I know that one of these days I am going to have to upgrade Windows, but I already have an Acer laptop with Windows 10 and I've never been in love with it. I keep seeing that 10 has it's own issues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
