How your junk PC can expose you


If you've been using a computer for some time and need to abandon it -- either because you're leaving a job or moving to another machine -- you need to be concerned about security. Once you leave, a lot of information can be retrieved about you just by inspecting the digital traces you leave behind.

Clear History, for instance, removes the history of activity kept by most popular applications. It can clear not only document and Internet history but also can ferret down into more arcane data and registry information, removing any record of your activity.

So before you say goodbye to a PC, follow this list of to-do items to ensure that no one gains information about you that they do not need to know.
