Announcements
Bright Ideas Computing continues to expand services with our new Backup
Wizard. This service lets you backup critical files to our remote
server so you'll always have an offsite copy of your most business
essential files. This is particularly useful if you forget to
make backups to CD or other removable media and take them offsite.

Need A Good Secure Shredder?
I just stumbled across a great utility that lets you shred the
contents of computer. It is included in none other
than Spybot Search & Destroy. For example, shred a document
before
sending it to the Recycle Bin and all of its contents will be wiped
out. All you will have left is an empty document with none of the
bits left over on your hard drive. This also works with image
format files. In SpyBot S&D, just click the menu "Mode
-> Advanced Mode -> Tools -> Secure Shredder" and
you're there. Click here for a screenshot of what it looks like...

it from...
