InstallationInternet Explorer 7
Posted on December 7th, 2006
Since the release of alternative internet broswers such as Firefox and Opera, Microsoft has been trying to catch up with the added security features their competitors offer.
With the increase of identity theft and online scams, security is becoming a priority when surfing on the internet, Internet Explorer 7 provides a higher degree of security and many more useful features that make it once again a favorite among broswers.
Some of the new features:
- RSS feeds
- Customizable toolbars
- Windows Live search engine
- Ability to use a search engine of your choice (e.g. GoDaddy, Google, etc.)
- Tab browsing
- Security features (Pop-up blocker, phishing filter, etc.)
- Text zoom using CTRL – or +
- Improved printing manager
The user interface has been improved making it smaller allowing you too see more of every page; and if you have trouble reading small fonts on the screen, IE7 includes a Cleartype optimizer and a zoom feature that allows you to see larger fonts on the screen.
Your data at risk – part one

In a computer the data is stored in the hard drive. It doesn’t matter if you use an old computer or a new one, PC or Apple, they all use hard drives.
A customer asked me if one could destroy the data in a computer by scratching the motherboard, well the answer is absolutely not, a few scratches in the motherboard might prevent someone from turning the computer on an using it normally, but if they transfer that hard drive unit into a working system, the user will be able to recover every single bit of data stored in that hard drive.
