Before you give your computer away. You should make sure its clean. And you should not donate the computer until you have performed a ';secure delete'; of the hard drive contents and free space. A secure delete encrypts all the information on magnetic media, thats your hard drive. Then deletes the information making it unreadable. It does this several times to make to make the information unreadable.
