PC Stats has published a new beginners guide about essential USB memory drive projects and tips:

If you are using email on a foreign or public computer or Internet connection and you are worried about the privacy of your correspondence, we have a solution for you.  The CryptoAnywhere program is a free, portable email encryption program capable of both sending encoded email and decrypting returning messages.

Run CryptoAnywhere and create your first 'identity' with your email address and mail server when prompted. The password is used to decrypt emails sent to you, so remember it. Once this is completed, click the 'create a travel floppy' button along the left side of the screen.

Enter the drive letter of your USB device or use the browse button to locate it. The necessary files will be copied to your USB drive. You can now use CryptoAnywhere (complete with the identity you just created) anywhere you can plug in your USB drive.

When you send mail with CryptoAnywhere, the program adds the encrypted message to an attachment and prompts you for a password which the recipient can use to decrypt the message. To send mail, simply click the 'new message' button, enter the address, message text and any attachments then click 'encipher and send.'
