Welcome
Thank you for purchasing this IOGEAR Personal Security Mouse that allows you to secure your computer
and sensitive files with the touch of a finger. In addition to using your own fingerprint to gain access to the
computer, our Personal Security software can use advanced encryption to prevent intruders from reading
your sensitive data even if your computer is lost or stolen. In addition, all your favorite website accounts can
be stored in an encrypted database and automatically filled in when you visit the site. All this without taking
any more desk or bag space than a normal mouse.
We hope that you will enjoy using your Personal Security Mouse and find it to be a useful solution.

Introduction
Most security measures make your computing experience more complicated and inconvenient. Your IOGEAR
Personal Security Mouse can provide you with extra security and actually make your life easier at the same
time. Gain access to your computer, or specific files, or an online account all with the swipe of one finger. All
your long, secure passwords are now safe and secure without needing any extra brain cells.
However, before you begin using your Personal Security Mouse, keep a few things in mind. The password
you use to log into Windows normally can always be used in place of your fingerprint. This means if your
mouse is broken or malfunctions you can continue using your computer normally, but it also means you must
still have one strong password memorized in case of emergency. Make sure each user account you are
securing has a valid password before installing.
Also remember that any files you encrypt are not portable. If you take a protected file off your computer you
will not be able to decrypt it, so make sure any backup solutions protect your entire installation of Windows
or store unprotected copies of your files. The Personal Security software is designed to secure your sensitive
data only while it is on your own computer.
