How to Securely Erase Private Data
Crucial Steps You Need To Take Before Typical After-Work Erasing With Eraser
CAUTION: Reading the following steps carelessly could cause you to disable your system and / or lose data you want to keep. So be sure to read them carefully.
Encrypt Web Accelerator's Cache or Erase It, Then Uninstall Web Accelerator
WARNING: To load pages faster, Web acceleration software programs keep copies of viewed web pages in a cache on your hard drive and precache some other popular pages.
Some of these may be copies of secure web pages visited when ordering products or services online, which may contain contact and credit card information and possibly other private data, such as your social security number.
If you use a Web accelerator, either securely encrypt its cache, its partition or the whole hard drive (fairly secure), or securely erase its cache and then uninstall the Web accelerator (more secure). skip
