How to password protect a file or folder

Hello!

Folder level security is sometimes not very effective if you really need your personalized work keep be in secret you can make the folder hidden. Further, there are numerous soft wares available which provides folder level security features. If you work on Excel or Word you can easily put a password on them even you can make them read only so that others may read those files but could not make any changes to your files.

Anti Virus is one of the most effective method to remove and to safeguard one’s PC from being under spy activities. If you are witnessing unnecessary files on your computer it means there is something wrong I suggest you to install a latest version of any antivirus program to keep your laptop safe from spying activities.

You can not use more than one Skype at a time because it will require more than one mic and headsets working at the same time which is obviously impossible for you. In fact, there would be no good at receiving two calls simultaneously.

Regards,
