Installation 15 Setting up Norton Confidential 1 User names and passwords 1 Phone numbers 1 Credit card numbers 1 Social security or other ID numbers When you add a guarded information item, text that you type in the Description field is displayed next to the guarded information item to remind you what the item is. A category name that you type or select in the Category field is used to identify the guarded information item in any alerts. You can increase the accuracy of Norton Confidential detection by using the following guidelines for entering information into Information Guard: 1 Enter a minimum of four characters to protect. 1 Enter a maximum of 30 characters to protect. 1 Add numeric information to Information Guard as an uninterrupted sequence of numbers, without dashes or other characters. For example, the phone number 888-555-1234 should be entered into Information Guard without dashes as follows: 8885551234. Norton Confidential detects the guarded number regardless of how you enter it in the Web site. 1 Enter the entire sequence of numbers or text that you want to guard. Or enter as much of the sequence as you are comfortable entering. Partial, common or short sequences of numbers and text have a greater chance of being detected in normal network traffic and can result in false detection alerts. For example, if you have guarded the last four digits of your credit card number as "0000," you may want to enter a more unique or longer sequence of your credit card number. 1 Don't enter your email address as a guarded information item. You email address is often sent and received in normal email correspondence. Guarding your email address using Information Guard may trigger an excessive number of alerts. 1 Create separate guarded information items for those items that require DBCS (double-byte character sets)
