Most of us have stacks and stacks of digital documents. I just checked and my Documents folder is 14 GB. That’s thousands of spreadsheets, text files, Word documents, and web pages. There is a chance, a risk, that sometime I put personal information somewhere in that stack.
Want to scour your hard drive for this personal information? Find credit card numbers, social security numbers, passwords, and the like? There’s a free tool available for this.
