PREDATOR

Really ? Do you mean that you have not set a password to protect your Windows user account ?

Everybody should know that Windows, when started in safe mode, does not run any application automatically. There is no way to avoid that. Even the anti-virus programs are not loaded, and Predator can be no exception. If you have checked Predator's "Autostart with Windows" option, it won't autostart in safe mode, leaving your session open to anybody... Fortunately, you can easily protect yourself against this major threat.

Any user concerned about computer security should set a strong password to protect his user account. This password is required when booting in safe mode. A person who does not know the password won't start Windows in Safe Mode. End of the story.

What is a strong password ? If your password is at least 12 characters long and returns 0 result when searched on Google, it is strong. It should also be unique: do not use the same password to protect your mailbox or to access any internet account.

How to protect your Windows user account with a password ? Google "create user password Windows".
