Erase Your Entire Hard Drive With Full Confidence

          

          I've been helping out some of my friends with their computers, which they were getting ready to sell and came across Kill Disk.  With Kill Disk you can be sure that the files on your hard drive are erased well enough, so that no one can recover them.  Great for any computers that may have very personal information on it.  It should work with just about any computer, no matter the operating system or size of hard drive.  There are different versions, including a free version that allows you to do a one pass zero method.  You also get updates from Kill Disk free as well.  If you chip in some money for the paid version, you can do up to 99 passes on your hard drive (making your data harder to recover) and it writes over your drive with algorithm's that support 17 security standards.

Is You Mac Sluggish?


Man, remember that day you first powered on your macintosh computer and started using safari. The pages would load faster than you could blink. But sadly as time went on, you filled your computer with more and more files. Those files took up space, and now anything you do on your computer seems to take an eternity. Well nothing can act like new forever, but there are ways to bring your computer to a reasonable speed. Small things like deleting unneeded files, keeping your software up to date, and remembering to close applications after you are done using them; can help speed up everything. Of course this is just a brief list. More ideas on how you can quicken up your computer, is from Christopher Lee's post. I've been making sure my desktop is clean and I have noticed that closing my applications really does help with my speed. Hope this post was helpful to some people and if you have any questions just leave a comment.
