Password Manager.
• For optimal protection by Identity Protector, include all dashes (such as
Social Security number, bank account numbers, brokerage accounts, and
ATM cards). For example, if you enter 123-45-6789 as your social security
number, Guard Dog will recognize the number with or without the dashes.
If you enter 123456789, Guard Dog won't alert you if the number is sent out
with dashes (123-45-6789). Credit cards do not need dashes because you
type the numbers into separate boxes.
Why should I create an Emergency Disk?
As part of the interview, Guard Dog asks you to create an Emergency Disk.
The Emergency Disk saves critical information and files that can be used to
start up (or boot) your computer when it can't start normally. If you should
encounter a boot sector virus, you may need the Emergency Disk in order to
start up your computer and clean the virus.
If you think that your computer is in good condition, now is the best time to
create an Emergency Disk. You will need three formatted, high-density,
3.5-inch floppy disks. (If you need help formatting the disks, refer to Windows
Help, which is located on your Windows
In case anything should happen to your installed copy of Guard Dog, the
Emergency Disk also contains a copy of your Guard Dog settings (including
the Guard Dog password) and Password Manager information. Keep your
Emergency Disk in a secure location away from heat and magnetic surfaces.
