I've used the computer to make Excel files of all my coins. However, I then download everything onto one of those USB flash card things. I have 2 with 2 gigs, one with 4 Gigs. Enough for all coin and personal information.
You should NEVERleave anything on your computer that you don't want others to know or see. There are way to many individuals out there attempting to invade your computer for personal information. regardless of firewalls, virus detectors, etc. there is always going to be someone out there trying to defeat them all. Haven't you been listening to how millions are being robbed of their identities? Much is done via your computer. If you put any personal info on your computer, you should always find a way to download to something else then delete all info possible.
Another thing to try is via the internet try downloading a program called Clean Up. It's free and wipes out tons of cookies that are hidden in your computer every time you get on line.
Always be safe, not sorry.

I want to keep a record of what I have in case I ever need to make an insurance claim. I scan each 20 pocket page and upload the file to a blogger account that I started just for this purpose. Theres no information on the blog, just images in case I need it for insurance. I figure if my house gets broken into, they'll probably take my computer too, so I wanted to upload to some other location. I thought about burning it to a CD and keeping it in my safety deposit box, but I would never keep it up to date. This way, if I add some more coins, I just scan them and upload them.
