Title: Computer Question
Post by: Ironica on February 21, 2011, 05:19:24 PM

I am planning on selling my desktop to help fund my laptop.  I was wondering if anyone knows a good program to make sure no one can recover any files/data that our browsers have saved (eg passwords).  I don't care much if they recover any other files just the internet stuff.
