DiskRescueSave $10! How degraded is your PCs performance? Unless checked, disk fragmentation is largely inevitable. Nonetheless, it is also slowly incremental, and, over time and if left unfixed, disk defragmentation will contribute to a significant loss of disk performance and an overall slowing of your PCs speed.
East-Tec DisposeSecureDon't give away sensitive information with the old computers that you or your company resells, donates or removes from operation. Deleting all files, formatting the hard disk or using FDISK is not enough to prevent people from restoring information using basic recovery programs. East-Tec DisposeSecure removes all traces of data from the computer hard disk by overwriting and destroying beyond recovery every sector and bit of information.
