What is BitLocker and Why Should We Use It in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 ?

Hello ppl. Today, I'll try to tell you about BitLocker function in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 in clear words. When we save a document in our harddisk folders these info are easily can be acquired by a hackers if your system is insecure though a good hacker can beat all kinds of antivirus and firewall software. But !!!
If your data are saved encrypted on your harddisk, it is impossible to see that data though these clever guys stole your sensitive info. Because the data can not be seen without a log in password if they have been saved with encryption!!! So here is what BitLocker does!!!
BitLocker saves all your information by encrypting them so you dont have to worry about your sensitive data anymore! Even if they are stolen by other ppl, it's impossible to see your valued work sheets or other personal data such as pics and bank account information as long as you have a good BitLocker password like A3#Be$%Er or whatever.
BitLocker is a standart feature added to Windows 8 but you should upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate to use it in Windows 7.
I'll also start a topic about how to activate BitLocker in Windows 8 shortly.
I try to tell in clean words when I create a topic to help those who have basic knowledge about IT. I hope this helped. If you still have questions about BitLocker please dont hesitate to ask me about them. 

Hi
Thank you for your post . This is a good information which can help users to be protected from hackers
Cheers!!!

  • What is MRP and why it is used?

    hi
    this question was asked in an interview can some one explain in detail for me
    What is MRP and why it is used? If there are 2 Lakhs of items is it feasiable to run MRP since running of MRP for 2 lakhs of item is time consuming, if yes then how it is been done?
    thanx

    Dear Bashir,
    1.MRP is material requirements planning which plans the required quantity of depedent material's along with the required date.
    2.MRP procedure is sub divided into a normal MRP,Master Production Scheduling and Consumption Based Planning.
    3.Cosnumtion BAsed planning is further sub-divided into Time Phased Planning,Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based
    Planning.Reorder point planning can be automatic or Manual.
    4.MRP type is differentiated using the MRP type value assigned in the MRP1 view of the material master.
    5.Some of the MRP types are PD - MRP,M0,M1,M2,M3 - MAster Production Scheduling related,VB - Manual reorder point
    planning,VM-Automatic reorder point planning.
    6.It is possible to take the MRP for the whole plant/for a specific MRP area using the batch MRP job.
    7.MDBT is the T Code for scheduling the MRP job or it can be scheduled for the program RMMRP000 using the T Code SM36
    and the results can be checked using SM37.

  • What is powerd and why is it using so much cpu

    When I check the activity monitor, it is almost pegged out. Because of this other things run slowly. So, what is "powerd" and why is it all of a sudden using so CPU?

    It is something related to power management, but it shouldn't be running away like that.
    Select it in Activity Monitor and then Quit it using the "X in octagon" button. You should only need Quit, but try force quit if needed.
    It will restart, but hopefully it won't start running away. If it does, there is likely something else causing it to do that.

  • What file type and codec should I use for creating a file to send to have an HDCAM copy made

    I'm prepping to take a video file of my film into a tape dubbing house to have an HDCAM copy of my project made. I'm using a PC, so Apple ProRes is not an option. What file type, codec, and settings do you recommend?
    I was considering MXF, but the highest quality codec is XDCAM 50, which only does up to 50Mbps (I think). I believe HDCAM works at 140Mbps, so I would rather not give them a file that's compressed to almost 1/3rd that, especially since the source is a 5K 5120x2560 project. DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately? I was considering a Quicktim in H.264 at 140Mbps, but I think that would mean some serious rendering for the tape house. I would like to be able to offer them a few different options and see what they prefer, but this is an area where my knowledge runs thin. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm hoping there's an industry standard that I can stick to.

    DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately?
    Your CS6 'Format' dropdown list should include DPX:
    Among the options you listed, DPX would be my choice.
    Be certain the dupe house can accept these files before proceeding.

  • Nsurlsessiond - what is this and why does it use alot of data?

    Hello
    Firstly
    I was in a public library, uploading to my dropbox account, and all of sudden my network speed indicator/ montior showed heaps of download and fast too.
    but i was not downloading anything.
    I was upping to my dropbox account.
    In activity monitor i noticed this service was operating "nsurlsessiond"
    What is this service?
    In my connection alert it tells me nsurlsessiond tried to establish a connection to apple-dnld.vo.llnwd.net on TCP port 80 (http)
    Secondly, i was using my own wifi, and saw this nsurlsessiond service consuming heaps of data. Again I was upping to my dropbox account. About 1gb this time.
    Now I have blocked communciation to "nsurlsessiond"
    What is the impact of blocking such communication?
    please see details of service in screenshot
    Now after this experience, I am wondering is it apple policy to have communication from our macbook's to somwhere without us knowingly allowing it?  I thought apple was respective of our privacy, or has this changed?
    thankyou for your help and time.
    regards

    i couldnt say. it was just that i happen to be only upping, to dropbox, and then saw downloading on the monitor.
    that was triggered as odd.
    i rarely look at what services are going on... only if my macbook slows down or something else odd.
    in both cases i was only upping to dropbox.
    i dont do alot with my macbook, other than upping to dropbox laterly.
    thankyou for your thinking and help.

  • Ubd activity - what is it, and why is it using 87% of my processors, and killing my battery?

    I have only seen two threads that have the term ubd and battery.  I've shut off my bluetooth, my wifi, and all of my apps, and ubd still fluctuates between 7% and 87% with no explanation.  I have a new MPB (non-retina), and my battery lasts perhaps 1 hour doing emails and internet.  I can't go unplugged at all and expect to do photoshop or any other processor-intensive app.  I'm on 10.8.3, and I've got 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB 7200RPM internal hard drive.  My wife's 13" mbp is 3 years old, and she is on 10.7, and she gets 4 hours of usage in lightroom and photoshop, so what the heck is going on?
    Also, I don't use antivirus or other firewall apps, in case you're wondering.  I like to keep background stuff to a minimum.
    It would be great if the mac support folks could chime in, and thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help.
    Thanks!

  • What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" ?

    What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" on my istat CPU app monitor?
    Ever since I installed Leopard I've noticed this happening more and more - especially when I install an external hard drive or unplug my ethernet line - this is plainly weird and never happened under Tiger - the temperature shoots up to 84° also - I always to a restart to get rid of it but it's kind of worrying....anybody have any ideas?

    Had this happen myself.
    It does have something to do with Spotlight/searching. Should go away after a while, or so I have heard from other users, 'cause it hasn't stopped driving me and my fan mad yet.
    Am going to have my MacBook index and follow-up on indexing and whatever else it feels is necessary to finally allow me to search in peace over the weekend while locking it away where I can't hear it.
    Hopefully that does the trick.
    If it wasn't for things working better/faster and most things looking better I might actually consider taking Leopard off again ...

  • What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

    Hey Forum,
    I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
    All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
    But that is the exception that makes the rule.
    SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

  • What is kernel_task? And why does it use so much memory?

    I have an iMac 27 inch late 2009 purchased new in July 2010. It has a 3.08 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of Memory. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and just now was unable to save an Excel document to an external hard drive with plenty of space with the warning I did not have enough memory. I went to my activity monitor and indeed there is very little memory and at the top of the usages of memory is kernel_task?  I don't know what that is and why it requires so much system memory.
    Also, there is an installation I aborted for an app I realized I didnt need and for some reason something it out there still taking system memory and I get a message when I shut down that it can't install. How do I delete that.

    DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

  • What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?*

    What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?

    When you save to the folder with the little house icon, the file is placed at
    /Users/your_user_name/
    You would really have to go out of my way to save at:
    (the shortcut for the Boot Drive, regardless of its name).
    I am not sure how you decided that Time Machine is not saving your files. The default is for Time Machine to do incremental Backups of everything on all attached drives, except for certain temporary information in Cache files. If you have four Users, Time Machine will back them all up.
    Looking at the raw Time Machine backups will tell you very little, because it does lots of its work with Hard Links, and because it does incremental backups, so only files that changed since the last Backup are saved at thet cycle. The way to determine whether Time Machine is saving things is to display the window you care about in the Finder, then invoke the "Star wars"/ "Back, back, back in time" Interface.

  • Why should I use SQLJ

    Why should I use SQLJ instead of JDBC, is it for faster Acess than JDBC, or for any other reasons

    Why should I use SQLJ instead of JDBC, is it for
    faster Acess than JDBC, or for any other reasonsJust guessing...
    It should be faster - but you should test.
    I would suspect that it is going to be harder to maintain because it is less used (thus less tested), less known (so harder to hire people to maintain) and less 'standard' (thus figuring out what went wrong can be harder.)

  • Why should I use BO BI 4.0 for my existing SAP NetWeaver ?

    Dear Sirs,
    Question about BusinessObjects BI 4.0 & SAP Netweaver 7.0.
    In my company we use NetWeaver for a year. We have some reports on portal, so we have some analysis via www. It seemed to me that this is enough for us.
    Now on the market is available new version of BusinessObjects - version 4.0.
    My question is :
    Why should I use BO BI 4.0 for my SAP BW?
    What will I gain by implementing BO BI 4.0 in conjunction with SAP BW?
    Can I use existing reports on the new platform?
    Can you give some links to documents, presentations and notes to answer these questions?
    Best regards,
    Emmo

    Hi Emmo2000,
    Please see my answers below:
    Why should I use BO BI 4.0 for my SAP BW?
    What will I gain by implementing BO BI 4.0 in conjunction with SAP BW?
    Please see this SDN article which covers a lot of the new features of BI4.0 :
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2011/03/24/sap-integration-update-9--should-you-start-with-sap-businessobjects-40-or-wait-for-41
    Can I use existing reports on the new platform?
    There is the ability to integrate BexWeb applications via our BI Launchpad. I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to but the following should clarify:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtointegrateBExWebApplicationsintoBI4.x
    Can you give some links to documents, presentations and notes to answer these questions?
    For detailed information on the BI4.0 suite, I would direct you towards our product documentation:

    I hope this is helpful and fully answers your question.
    Kind regards,

  • Why should I use xinetd?

    Im using inetd, but in mandrake I had xinetd, and somewhere I had read that it is better. Is this true?, and if so, ahow do I install it, cause it's not in pacman (i know I cant install it from source, but I wonder if it's hidden somewhere in the distro)

    http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html
    Q. What is xinetd ?
    A. xinetd is a replacement for inetd, the internet services daemon.
    Q: I am not a system administrator; what do I care about an inetd replacement ?
    A: xinetd is not just an inetd replacement. Anybody can use it to start servers that don't require privileged ports because xinetd does not require that the services in its configuration file be listed in /etc/services.
    Q. Is it compatible with inetd ?
    A. No, its configuration file has a different format than inetd's one and it understands different signals. However the signal-to-action assignment can be changed and a program has been included to convert inetd.conf to xinetd.conf.
    Q. Why should I use it ?
    A. Because it is a lot better (IMHO) than inetd. Here are the reasons:
    1) It can do access control on all services based on:
         a. address of remote host
         b. time of access
         c. name of remote host
         d. domain name of remote host
    2) Access control works on all services, whether multi-threaded or single-threaded and for both the TCP and UDP protocols. All UDP packets can be checked as well as all TCP connections.
    3) It provides hard reconfiguration:
         a. kills servers for services that are no longer in the configuration file
         b. kills servers that no longer meet the access control criteria
    4) It can prevent denial-of-access attacks by
         a. placing limits on the number of servers for each service (avoids process table overflows)
         b. placing an upper bound on the number of processes it will fork
         c. placing limits on the size of log files it creates
         d. placing limits on the number of connection a single host can initiate
         e. place limits on the rate of incoming connections
         f. discontinue services if the load exceeds specified limit
    5) Extensive logging abilities:
         a. for every server started it can log:
              i) the time when the server was started
              ii) the remote host address
              iii) who was the remote user (if the other end runs a RFC-931/RFC-1413 server)
              iv) how long the server was running
              (i, ii and iii can be logged for failed attempts too).
         b. for some services, if the access control fails, it can log information about the attempted access (for example, it can log the user name and command for the rsh service)
    6) No limit on number of server arguments
    7) You can bind specifc services to specific IP's on your host machine
