Introduction

Most security measures make your computing experience more complicated and inconvenient. Your IOGEAR
Personal Security Mouse can provide you with extra security and actually make your life easier at the same
time. Gain access to your computer, or specific files, or an online account all with the swipe of one finger. All
your long, secure passwords are now safe and secure without needing any extra brain cells.

However, before you begin using your Personal Security Mouse, keep a few things in mind. The password
you use to log into Windows normally can always be used in place of your fingerprint. This means if your
mouse is broken or malfunctions you can continue using your computer normally, but it also means you must
still have one strong password memorized in case of emergency. Make sure each user account you are
securing has a valid password before installing.

Also remember that any files you encrypt are not portable. If you take a protected file off your computer you
will not be able to decrypt it, so make sure any backup solutions protect your entire installation of Windows
or store unprotected copies of your files. The Personal Security software is designed to secure your sensitive
data only while it is on your own computer.
