Throwing Away Your Computer? Make sure someone cannot access your old deleted files!

When you delete a file or a folder, it's not really gone. In fact, even if you empty your Recycle Bin, your deleted files can easily be recovered by anyone who has basic file recovery software. Your sensitive data, such as your financial records, passwords and documents, are at risk unless they are deleted in a way that makes them unrecoverable. That is why you need Easy File Shredder.

With Easy File Shredder you will be able to shred files and free disk space so that your confidential information cannot be recovered even with file recovery software.

BIOS Tip: Tweaking BIOS to Improve Boot Speed


Tweaking your BIOS settings can be a good way to get your system to boot faster. Just a simple change of some of the key settings can make dramatic differences in how fast your system boots up.

Enable the "Quick Boot" Feature: Many newer PCs have a special BIOS setting, usually called "Quick Boot" or "Quick Power On Self Test" that can be enabled to make the boot take less time. Try enabling this setting; this will cause the BIOS to skip some of the normal test routines that it performs at boot time, speeding up the boot process.

Remove the Boot Delay Setting: Some PCs have a BIOS setting that you can use to intentionally delay the boot-up of the PC by several seconds. This setting is often called "Boot Delay" or "Power-on Delay". This can be useful when the BIOS is booting too quickly, causing hard disk drives to be booted before they are ready. However, it also slows the boot process down, so make sure that it is only enabled if it is needed.

Disable Floppy Drive Seek: Also called Boot Up Floppy Seek. Most PCs have a BIOS setting to disable floppy drive seeking, which is the short access the BIOS makes to the floppy disk just before it boots the system. This seek (unless disabled) is performed regardless of whether the system is being booted from the hard disk or floppy disk. Disabling the seek speeds up the boot process by a couple of seconds. This doesn't really have any negative impact on the system, although if you are having problems with your floppy drive you will probably want to re-enable the seek as this makes troubleshooting some types of problems easier.
