| One of my clients has some very sensitive data on his notebook which

| He has used a strong Administrator's password and has disabled the

| He does not plan to access the Internet or use Email.
| Basically, the notebook is for Word and Excel.

| Can files be copied in DOS or SAFE mode?
| Can Spyware programs be installed?
|
| TIA.
It is a notebook. That denotes portability therefore physical security is an important
aspect such as the possibility of theft.
If the client uses it in such a portable mode then data encryption of all sensitive files
may be in order. If a person with nefarious intent obtains the notebook, the files are at
risk.
You also stated "He does not plan to access the Internet or use Email." That could change
and again the data will be placed at risk.
