3. Choose a folder to install the software into, or click Next to accept the standard location. When the software has finished installing it will immediately begin the user setup process (see the next section of the manual).
User Setup 1. You will need to perform the following steps once for each user account on the computer that you would like to secure using a fingerprint. Setup will begin automatically for the user that installs the software, but all other users can set up their account by clicking on the Personal Security menu icon by the clock in the taskbar.
2. The first step in securing an account is to enter the account password into the Personal Security software. This password must match the one you normally use to log into Windows. If you do not wish to use your fingerprint to log into your computer uncheck the checkbox for Use as Windows Login. Click OK when finished.
3. Next you must store at least one of your fingerprints in the software. Click on the finger you wish to scan and click Next.
4. You will be prompted to swipe your finger across the sensor at least three times to get a good reading. Use a smooth, even movement and draw the finger or thumb back towards yourself while applying steady pressure to the sensor. Each swipe should take around a full second or more to complete. When three valid readings have been collected you will be returned to the fingerprint registration screen.

This can be very useful if your preferred finger becomes unreadable due to a cut or bandage. If you would like to delete data for a finger, simply click on it and choose Delete this finger. Note that you must leave at least one print per user. Click Finish when you are finished storing fingerprints.
6. If this is the first time you have run the user setup after installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer now. Click Yes to restart and activate the changes to the login software or click No if you would rather wait.
7. After your next restart, you will be prompted to enter the serial code from the sticker on the bottom of the mouse. Make sure that you include hyphens and capital letters as needed. Click Activate to register your software automatically (an internet connection is required to complete this activation).
Windows Logon 1. If you choose to use the Windows Logon feature of the Personal Security mouse, you will see a screen like this one when first starting your computer. If you do not see this screen, make sure your Personal Security mouse is plugged in or press control-alt-delete to log in normally using a password instead of a fingerprint.
2. Normally you will simply swipe your finger across the mouse when you are presented with the Windows Logon screen. If that fingerprint has been registered in the Personal Security software, you will automatically log into the user account it is registered for. You do not need to choose a user first, nor do you need to specify which finger you are scanning.
3. If you are having trouble scanning your fingerprint or have not yet set up a fingerprint for a user account, you can always log into an account manually by pressing Cancel, then typing in the name and password for the appropriate user.
Internet Explorer AutoLogin 1. Your Personal Security software can remember login information for all of your favorite websites. To set up this feature for a website, simply type the account information into the web page normally but do not sign in yet.

3. You will be prompted to identify yourself using one of the stored fingerprints for this user. Swipe the appropriate finger across the sensor on the mouse.
4. From the IE AutoLogin menu, choose the option to Save ID and Password. This will add the account information to an encrypted database for future use on this website. On your next visit to the site, you will be immediately prompted to scan your finger. When you do so, the login information will be typed in for you automatically.
SecureDisk 1. Your Personal Security software includes a virtual disk that is not accessible without your fingerprint or password. The contents are encrypted on the fly, so you can access the contents with any program as if it were a normal disk once you unlock it. As with all features of your Personal Security mouse, start by clicking the icon in the tray area by the clock.
2. You will be prompted to identify yourself using one of the stored fingerprints for this user. Swipe the appropriate finger across the sensor on the mouse to gain access to the main menu, or click Password to gain access by entering your account information manually.

File and Folder Encryption 1. If moving files into the secure disk is not convenient, you may encrypt them directly using a right-click. With the Personal Security software installed, any file or folder in Windows will have an option to encrypt it in place. You will need to validate each encrypt/decrypt action by swiping your fingerprint normally.
2. When a file has been encrypted you can see a red padlock stamped onto the normal file icon. It will no longer be readable if copied off your computer, and even someone who is logged onto your computer cannot open the file without your fingerprint.
3. Normally you can open and decrypt a file at the same time by simply double-clicking on it. However, if you wish to decrypt a file without opening it, there is an option to do so by right-clicking the file again.
4. If you wish to encrypt an entire folder, you may do so with a right-click as well. The folder icon will have a red padlock to show that files inside are protected.
5. To decrypt individual files within a protected folder, you can simply drag them outside the folder. As usual, your fingerprint is required to perform the operation.
6. If you would no longer like a folder and everything inside to be encrypted, right-click the folder itself and choose the Decrypt Folder option. All contents will be restored to normal.
IE AutoLogin Database Manager 1. You may change the behavior of the AutoLogin feature using the Database Manager. As with all features of your Personal Security mouse, start by clicking the icon in the tray area by the clock. Swipe your finger to access the main menu.
2. Under the IE AutoLogin menu, choose the AutoLogin Database Manager.
3. From here you can see the websites that are currently set up for automatic login, along with the account information stored for each site. You can cancel the AutoLogin feature for a site by selecting it from the list and clicking Delete. You may also turn on automatic submitting here. When this box is checked your account information will not only be filled in automatically, but also sent immediately afterward.
Resize SecureDisk 1. By default the secure disk for each user can hold up to 128 MB of data. If you would like to expand the disk simply bring up the Personal Security software, and choose Resize from the SecureDisk menu.
2. You may change the size of the drive by dragging the slider or by typing in an exact size specified in megabytes. The space used by the secure drive is taken from your C: drive and immediately unavailable for other purposes, so pay attention to the available free space on your computer. Click Resize when you are ready to apply the changes.
3. All data on the secure drive will be preserved during the resize process. Click OK once the change is complete.
Adding or Deleting Fingerprint Data 1. Due to either preference or necessity, you may wish to change which finger is used when accessing your Personal Security software. Start by clicking the icon in the tray area by the clock.
2. You will be prompted to identify yourself using one of the stored fingerprints for this user. Swipe the appropriate finger across the sensor on the mouse to gain access to the main menu, or click Password to gain access by entering your account information manually.

If you decide you would rather log into the computer normally you can do so using the Windows Login setting option under User Settings.
2. By unchecking the box marked Use as Windows Login you will restore the normal login procedure on your computer. This screen may also be used to update the password stored in the Personal Security software if the password for your Windows account is accidentally changed.
Screen Saver / Lock Settings 1. By default your Personal Security software will lock the computer whenever your screensaver is activated, as well as when you press the Pause/Break key on your keyboard. If you would like to change these settings, open the Screen Saver Lock setting option under User Settings.
2. Here you may change the hotkey used to lock your computer and enable or disable automatic locking when your screensaver activates.
Quick Bar Auto Hiding 1. By default the Personal Security software will remain open until you select an option or click the X in the top right to close it.
