Alright, just to get things straight as to how bad things are. every password would mean what exactly ? There are lots of information on that computer, but at the same time its not so bad. My father uses it to write his bills and stuff for his company.
My mom uses Opera to pay bills, but it is safe to assume that she did not do it for 14 days or more.
Besides that, he has his email that is access through Outlook, it recorded his password so he doesn't need to enter it everytime(either way he doesn't know it).
I believe that is all that is done on his computer that is sensitive. So, which of these should I worry about ?
And while we are at it, I plan to get myself an HDD enclosure along with an HDD, but before doing anything, I guess I will plug my father's HDD into the thing because he has a sata drive and I am still with IDE, and then save the information on my HDD and my ipod. Then I'd do whatever with the compaq disk that came with the computer.
Would this work ? or would I be at risk of having a virus on my own computer if I were to do that ?
