Undelete Files with Pandora Recovery

Pandora RecoveryWhat happens to deleted files after you empty the Recycle Bin?

Strangely enough… they may still be on your hard drive.

To improve system responsiveness, when Windows deletes a file, it does not take the time to actually erase the data encoded on the hard drive. The space occupied by the “deleted” file is treated as empty space — which means the old file may be overwritten by new data at any time. However, if the hard drive has a lot of free space, the old data may remain intact for weeks or months.

Free Antivirus Protection

Is your antivirus software up-to-date? Antivirus protection is important — especially if your computer connects to the Internet.

Computer VirusMany users think they have antivirus protection because some antivirus program was pre-installed when they purchased their computer.

Create Your Own Acrobat Documents

Anyone can create documents in the portable Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format… even without the Adobe Acrobat product. Microsoft Office 2007 supports saving files as Acrobat documents, which makes it easy to send your files to friends and colleagues who don’t have Office.

You can do the same thing from almost any application by installing a free Acrobat-compatible “printer driver”. You’ll be able to create Acrobat documents from any Windows application that can print to a regular printer.

PrimoPDF ScreenshotA good FREE program is PrimoPDF, available at http://www.primopdf.com. This program has PDF features not available in Office 2007, such as password protection.

Vista compatible. Spyware free. No cost.

After installing PrimoPDF, you can create an Acrobat format document by “printing” — just use the application’s Print… command; then choose the PrimoPDF printer driver. You’ll be prompted with a Save As… dialog to choose a location and filename for your new PDF document. Finally, send your newly-minted PDF document to all your friends who have the free Adobe Acrobat reader!
