4 File Shredders To Make Deleted Data Unrecoverable

Most of us fire up Microsoft Word for our run of the mill document needs. Most of us don't peek under the hood to see and use the other ready at hand tools that are just a few clicks away. I too accuse myself of this common shortcoming. It is perhaps a dire need or a serendipitous event that lead me to exploit a feature until now igno


Cryptainer does exactly as it advertises. The 3MB freeware creates encrypted vaults (plainspeak for an encrypted disk volume) which can be used to store any files in any media including USB drives. Multiple disks volumes can thus be created. The user can hide any file within the strong 128 bit encrypted password protected vault. Secure emails can also be sent using the encryption algorithm. Drag and drop any file into the "˜vault' and it gets encrypted. The Cryptainer "˜vault' is invisible so it effectively cloaks any file within


None of them involve going anywhere near the registry or indeed altering your Windows settings in any way. What I am about to talk about is just plain old keyboard shortcuts to make menus jump up and down, windows change or https://Windowsmastery.com/ make you bounce your way around the desktop - without touching that mouse o


Occasional snoopiness is the habit of man. The little world contained within our computers isn't safe from eavesdroppers. The need to feel secure probably explains the surplus of encryption software available. We all have some skeletons in our hard disks or just need to keep some valuable files away from prying eyes. We already have looked at a few ways to do it manually here on MakeUseOf. You can read about it here , here and he


The research feature is not only a Word 2007 tool but it is inbuilt into every Office 2007 application. It also combines several third party sources like Gale's company profile s, WorldLingo or HighBeam along with standard issue Microsoft resources like Encarta or Live Sear


The Add Services button puts in the choices in the Research Options dialog dropdown.

Similarly, the Update/Remove button updates or removes the services of our choice. The Parental Control is a filter which sieves the results and screens out the offensive and the vile in the resu


Local - A local tunnel will allow you to connect to the specified port on a machine residing on the same network as the SSH server. One useful example that I will show you is how to connect to a Windows computer running Remote Desk


When I start working on the computer, I mostly tend to head straight to the start menu so let's go there. To bring up the start menu using the keyboard, just press the START key (also called the WIN key) which is normally at the bottom left of the keyboard close to the spacebar. It will have a small Microsoft symbol on it. It varies slightly in design according to what keyboard you're using but it looks something like th


We're not quite done. We still need to configure Firefox to send DNS requests to the SOCKS proxy as well. To do this, enter about:config in the navigation bar in Firefox. You may get a prompt asking you if you know what you're doing. Assure Firefox that you know what you're doing and proc


Don't want to use Bittorrent for some reason? Well no problem you can try "Windows File Sharing" just as you would do on a LAN. Just that it is a lot more simple here. When I clicked on it I was hoping to go through a messy workgroup setup and complicated network settings, but what did I see? I saw the shared printer and shared docs (in other words, it's already done and I did nothing). Yes that's how simple it is. Depending upon your situation you may be prompted for a password or do some minor configurations h


It's specifically designed to meet government data erasure standards in the US, Canada, Germany and the UK. The CBL Data Shredder uses so called the multiple-pass Gutmann method, which repeatedly overwrites the data with different bit patterns until it's completely unrecovera


A contingent requirement lead me to the "˜discovery' of Research feature in Microsoft Word 2007 . Since Office 2003, this feature has been a quite presence. Perhaps, not used as frequently because for most of us a browser is more second nature. But a Research feature within the Office suite has its own value


The free version of Cryptainer though only allows for 25MB of "˜vault' space per disk volume. So if you are looking to hide larger files, this isn't the answer.The free version is available for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista from he


Dynamic - This acts as a SOCKS proxy that can be used to tunnel traffic through the network where the SSH server resides. You can then configure applications that support SOCKS proxies (such as a web browser) to take advantage of it. I'll demonstrate how to set up Firefox to work through a dynamic tun


Simply put, the research options button provides one click access to particular reference books and research sites that the Microsoft Office 2007 suite provides as information resources. For example, the Research services to choose from include dictionaries, thesauruses, and various Internet research Web sites in several languages. The Research pane also includes a very useful translation serv
