More software utilities

Drive formatting - An essential utility when trying to rid your computer of any unwanted viruses or unused files, although a drive is formatted the data stored on the drive is not entirely gone, in fact if you know what you are doing it is still very much possible to retrieve the data. It has been stated but not proven that governments actually format their hard drives, grind them into dust and then bury in them in secret vaults underground, pretty important dust.....When formatting your drive be very careful that you are formatting the right one, although the data can be retrieved it is not easy and not always possible. As said previously the format utilty can help to rid your pc of viruses, worms, trojans etc pending on how far the virus has struck in your computer you may have to format the main hard drive if it has spread far enough, be careful to check it has though as when the main hardrive is formatted all of your software, programs, data, files etc are gone, that means re-installing your operating system (which is not always simple as you need your serial number to install) your drivers and all necessary software such as anti-virus, firewalls, internet explorers etc

Anti-virus - Anti-virus is very important when dealing with internet related topics especially downloads. Viruses can spread rapidly and infect your entire machine crippling it or forcing to do things that go against the users wishes. A specific type of virus known as a worm can use a line of code to actually take your personal settings and passwords etc to effectively steal personal information and accounts, very dangerous stuff. Anti-virus software quarantines all harmful devices and blocks any harmful messages or alerts until the user can decide whether or not to allow the program to proceed, if the software decides that the threat is too great it will use force to destroy the danger automatically. Ultimately the anti-virus software available to the world today is strongly deemed necessary and highly recommended especially when dealing with file sharing sites such as limewire or bearshare, and even when opening emails on windows live/hotmail, even social networking sites like bebo or myspace, facebook
