September 1, 2014 By Richie 2 Comments

Choosing a password manager complete guide

Managing your passwords is messy and complicated however, making use of a Password Manager can free you from the mess while keeping a high degree of security. If you are still using the same password for everything (like sunshine, princess, monkey or god-forbid admin) then you are putting yourself in danger of being hacked, your personal data stolen, and possible financial ruin.

How to clean install Ubuntu Linux on a desktop or laptop computer

Manual backup of your files, folders & data in Windows guide

Today I will show you how to optimally backup all your personal files, folders and data in a way that is easily read and used in any operating system, not just Windows. As I have mentioned in earlier guides, Windows Backup & Restore is great if you are sticking with a Windows operating system, but messy and complicated if you want to use that backup in MAC or Linux (its inside a container file) and System Repair Discs are only good for your Windows system, not your personal data. It is … [Read more...]

This guide is split into two sections: section one is for Windows 7 & 8 and section two is for Windows XP, 2000, Vista and/or for those of … [Read more...]
