Beginners Guide Understanding & Installing PGP Encryption
Ever wonder why all the ’smart’ people are using that powerful encryption stuff on their computers? Do you really need it, seems like a hassle right?
Well, if your private life or finances has ever become the topic of conversation in a chat room, forum or Interpol morning detectives meeting, you should understand the reasoning behind using powerful encryption. Protecting your email content and files is very important in today’s world.
For years I was a fan of encryption but just never could figure out how to set it up or use it. Everyone said, “why don’t you just use PGP? That is the free version and easiest encryption on the Internet…everyone uses it”. Thanks for the advice but downloading, installing and leaning how to use that stuff is like rocket science for a goofy guy like me, so I never managed to get it going. I never found ‘instructions’ I could understand. To this day, I still don’t know what a libarary or a .cab file is or what to do with them. I needed simple, easy to understand instruction to walk me through it. I need the easy to understand version that has instructions like this,
“Now move the mouse to ‘File’ on the ‘Notepad window and select “Save”.
If you search around the Net you will find dozens of webs talking about PGP and describing its advantages and feature but you won’t really find one that tells you exactly how to install, how to use and what’s important to protect. At least I never found that web.
Well if you are interested in protecting yourself with PGP, quickly learning the setup and operation, plus what to use it for and other tricks….then you may want to check out “Encryption on the Fly” over at the EscapeVelocityPub For beginners or intermediate users, this program is super helpful. Its not a free publication right now it will cost you about $6 in gold or silver, but IMHO its worth it. Its even got some mega cool info on hiding a file within a picture for you James Bond types. Here is the pitch:

I wish I had this publication about ten years ago, reading this one I could have been up and running in just minutes!
