It also has a feature that scrambles everything on RAM when you shut down. Normally everything on RAM disappears anyway after a few minutes but in those minutes there is a trace electrical imprint of what you were doing.
If someone wanted to stop it from disappearing and recover the data they could literally freeze the RAM and recover the data in a lab. As Incognito shuts down it overwrites everything in RAM with utter gobbeldygook.
OK. I guess if you have a computer that other people can access that you would rather not I can see the benefit of an external OS and RAM scrambler. I don’t have that problem, so onboard encryption and backup to external flash drives is good enough for me.
To help tweek your Windows OS to better security I recommend utilizing the many free utilities at Gibson Research (http://www.grc.com/default.htm), especially Shoot The Messenger, UnPlug n’ Pray and ShieldsUP! Also, get to know your Windows Services Utility and turn off anything you don’t need.
Incidentally, a Windows OS can be tweeked into security without knowing any code. I use XP Pro with about a thousand tweeks and Registry edits. I haven’t used any anti-spyware, antivirus, or software firewalls for years and never get spyware or viruses or hacked. I found it all with Google searches, and I would not classify myself as a geek.
