Prevent unauthorized access to your computer [unauthorized access] [jumpers]
Q: Im just wondering how to get unauthorized access to his / her computer to prevent. Assuming there are no trojans, worms and other Internet-related hacks, what are the options? To begin, the BIOS password can be easily captured by the CMOS jumpers . and how good is the WinXP login password protection?
Re:Abit Secure-IDE or SiiG equivalent. Pull the "key" dongle, put it in your pocket when you leave. (Unsure if you can do that with the system "live" though, probably not. Should "Hibernate" before doing so then.)

Better way is to put the hd on cartridge. She can easily remove it from the bay and store it in a locked drawer.

Re:For physical security? Not much, if I can have physical access I can do basically whatever I want to get the data. If you want to protect the data from physical theft then you need to look into encryption.
For network access enable as little as possible, always be suspicous and don't be an idiot.
Re:Slap a password onto it in the bios, then slap a limited user account and use it most of the time, when you are not installing stuff or changing settings, to help protect yourself. WIndows login password can be easily reset using a custom Linux Boot disk password ressetting utility.
