The whole procedure might take a while depending on the size of the drive. While the hard drive is being encrypted, you can keep working. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) The TPM is a security hardware device on the system board that holds computer-generated keys for encryption. The purpose of the TPM is to help to avoid attacks by hackers who aim to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the ability to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy. The security features provided by the TPM involve the following: random number generation, hashing, asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM has its unique signature initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness. Each TPM must have an Owner before it can be used as a security device. The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can provide overall system security, file protection features, and protect against email/privacy concerns.

You can use the following options to delete data from the storage drive: Use the Nexstgo Backup and Recovery app to reset your computer to the factory default values. Format the storage drive to prepare it for initial use. Move the data to the Recycle Bin and then empty the content of the Recycle Bin. Unfortunately the methods described above only change the location of the data on the storage drive but do not delete the data itself. Using third party software, it is sometimes possible to restore the deleted data. There is a risk that people might read and misuse the critical data on storage drives for unforeseen purposes. Thus, to prevent leakage of data, it is important to ensure all the data is deleted from the storage drive. You can destroy the storage drive physically by breaking it into pieces or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power making data unreadable. We recommend to use the second option. To erase quickly and easily all of the magnetic information stored on the drive, enable Hard Disk Format item in Nexstgo System Configuration > Setup Utility > Advanced > Device Configuration > Disk Low Level Format. For accessing and navigating the Nexstgo System Configuration utility, please refer to “Using the Nexstgo System Configuration Utility” on page 57. Protecting Your Computer 63 Using Antivirus Software When you use the computer to access any apps that require Internet connection, you potentially expose the computer to malware. Different malware, such as spyware, Trojan horses, viruses, worms, and other malicious apps, can disable the operating system, apps, utilities, or cause them to function unexpectedly. Antivirus software can detect most of the malware, destroy them, and often repair any damage that they have caused. To provide maximum protection against newly discovered malware, make sure to keep the antivirus software up-to-date. Your computer has Windows Defender Security Center preinstalled that also features virus and threat protection. We strongly recommend that you continue to use an antivirus program in order to provide full protection against malware. Using Firewall Software Firewalls help to prevent unauthorized access to the system or network resources. A firewall can be either a program installed on your computer and/or network, or a complete security solution made up of hardware and software. Usually there are two main types of firewalls to choose from: Host-based firewalls that protect only the computer where they are installed on. Network-based firewalls that are installed between DSL or cable modem and your home network providing protection to all the computers connected on the network. When a firewall is installed on a system, all data entering or leaving the Internet, must pass through the firewall. The firewall examines the data and blocks everything that does not meet the specified security criteria. Your computer has Windows Defender Security Center preinstalled that also features firewall and network protection. 64 Protecting Your Computer USER’S MANUAL Using the Nexstgo System Configuration Utility Using the Nexstgo System Configuration utility, you can set the boot order, manage devices, set the boot location, recover the operating system, and configure system settings.
