Download of the day: Eraser Posted: If you're selling a computer, you need Eraser – it permanently deletes and overwrites and sensitive data you want to prevent falling into the wrong hands. Why you need it Getting rid of your old computer involves more than just selling it – you need to consider erasing your data to prevent it getting into the wrong hands. But simply putting it in the Recycle Bin won't cut it, as the data may still be recoverable. Instead, you'll need something heavy duty – something like Eraser. That's because deleting a file in Windows doesn't actually destroy the file, it merely severs the link between the file and the operating system. The file itself still exists until it is overwritten, meaning your sensitive data can be recovered further down the line. What Eraser does is overwrite these files several times, ensuring even the most tech-savvy intruder won't be able to find your private data. There's also a scheduler, so you can let Eraser get stuck in to large tasks while you're sleeping or working. This all means you can sell on your PC, safe in the knowledge that your private data is out of the reach of any unscrupulous buyer. Key features Works on: PC Versions: Free Safely erase data: Eraser ensures your data is completely deleted and overwritten, something the standard Windows deletion can't guarantee Set up a schedule: If you have a lot of files to overwrite, you can set Eraser to work on a schedule, enabling it to get to work while you sleep You'll also like CCleaner Recuva Glary Utilities SiSoftware Sandra EVEREST Home Edition

iOS 8.4 update may feature Beats-based music service Posted: Apple is constantly working to improve iOS, but a forthcoming update may bring more than just bug fixes. Mark Gurman at 9to5Mac has it from sources that Apple is working on iOS 8.4 (duh) and may use the update to launch its Beats-based streaming music service. Plans are subject to change, but this is the course Apple is apparently considering at the moment. iOS 8.3 was seeded to developers earlier today, bringing wireless CarPlay support, new emojis and other improvements. With iOS 9 likely releasing in the fall, there's a good chance iOS 8.4 - and the new music service - will land sometime in the spring. Word broke last week that Apple was working on a new paid streaming service with Beats, one that could challenge Spotify and Google Play Music. The cloud-based service would live as a new app and replace the current Music app on iOS devices. Next up: iOS 8 review
