If you supply sensitive information on a website, always ensure that the site is using SSL (secure socket layer). The address of the page should start with "https://" not just "http://" and the Lock icon should be displayed in the browser's status bar. If these indicators are not present, it means that the site is not secure and information you enter on the site is not protected/secured. Fraudulent web forms related to phishing scams are often non-secure sites. Please note, however, that even an apparently secure site may be fraudulent. The fact that a site appears to be secure is not by itself a guarantee that the site is legitimate. However, legitimate sites that require users to supply personal information will always be secure.

Protected Storage (Pstore) provides applications with an interface to store user data that must be kept secure or free from modification. With datatypes, PST_ACCESSMODE (Defines the read or write mode of the access rule), PST_ACCESSCLAUSETYPE (Defines the clause type of the access rule) and PST_KEY (Defines the key for the stored item), Protected Storage is the strongest integral part of your computer security system which you would never want any second person to read. (Ref:msdn.microsoft) It's Desksense that makes your Protected Storage a more safer place.
