With the ever increase of activity in computer crime and Internet fraud, users want to secure their personal data on their computers more now than ever before.

Although MacOS X is an extremely secure operating system from hackers when you are using the Internet, the physical computer itself is not so secure. Files can be easily transferred off your Mac if someone has direct access to your machine and also if they have with them another Mac and Firewire cable.

I have created a tutorial where you can create a secure virtual folder so that you and only you can access them (and anyone else who knows the password come to mention it). You don’t need to buy any additional software, MacOS X has everything you need.

Well, instead of repeating myself over and over again, I thought that I would write a tutorial to illustrate how this is done, so enjoy.
