Jatin, I think we have a language problem here. Which is not a problem 
as long as we understand that this problem exists and that we should 
explain ourselves with the understanding that nobody here is a mind 
reader and therefore needs clear explanations to questions.

You have any problems re this? :-) Good.

Why would you be afraid that someone would come up with the solution you 
describe above?

Why be afraid when it is the most natural and obvious statement for 
anyone who uses a computer (and accesses the internet) to say (" don't 
keep your sensitive information or documents in your laptop or desktop .")?

If you use a desktop computer or a laptop then there is always the 
possibility that it will be stolen.

You would agree with this?

And if it is stolen then all the information - your passwords, your bank 
account details, the naughty pictures you found - written to the hard 
disc(s) is accessible to whoever stole your computer or laptop.

Now, this is simply a fact of life when one is using a computer/laptop.

Having said all of this, there are ways and means of trying to protect 
your confidential/secret information/data from other people even if your 
desktop or laptop is stolen.

But do you have such so secretive or confidential information on your 
computer/laptop which would require applying very complicated systems to 
protect whatever you have? Are you a secret government agent where 
whatever you write is of top national security status?

What EXACTLY is worrying you? Not what you said above surely. The answer 
perhaps is in the next message you posted to which I will now respond.

But at this point I will ask you to read what I wrote above and what I 
will write in a few minutes in answer to your other response - and then 
think about what has been said and only respond to my next message 
otherwise the whole thing will get completely out of hand :-) .
