Despite the creativity level of these hacks, they unfortunately don’t solve everyday desktop issues like slow Internet speed and frozen screens. PSafe has a multitude of resourceful features that can make desktop life as smooth as it was always meant to be. These life hacks are even easier than making a box of toilet rolls filled with wires.

The Best Way to Boost The Internet
Slow Internet speed is as painful to experience as watching paint dry on the wall. Luckily, with PSafe Total’s Internet Booster, you can get faster Internet with a click of a button. It shuts down any applications running in the background of your device that are slowing your roll. Now you can happily go back to binge-watching YouTube videos without any lag time.

The Easiest Way to Clear Your Junk
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be exclusive to your home — or spring, for that matter. Over time, unnecessary files build up in your desktop, information stored into your computer from websites takes up space, and plenty of applications are left open, causing significant slowness in your device. With PSafe’s Quick Cleanup, all of this can be wiped clean in a matter of minutes. This will be probably your only favorite chore.

The Wifi Check You Didn’t Know You Needed
Sometimes finding a spot with good Wi-Fi can feel like finding a unicorn. For those days when you want to work at a cafe, you need to make sure that you’ve got the speediest and most secure Wi-Fi situation available. PSafe’s Wi-Fi Check system reviews the speed and network security of any Wi-Fi network you want to look into. This will save you the time, the headache, and the coffee money that comes with a slow network.

The Surest Way to Increase Space
Clearing out files for the sake of increasing storage space can take ages, and frankly, who has the time to go through everything they’ve got stored onto their computer? It would be wonderful to hire someone to go through the files for you — but without having to actually hire anyone. PSafe’s Memory Booster is the next best thing, and better. It optimizes your data and helps you decide what can be done to create more storage space and enhance the speed of your device. Who needs to hire anyone when you’ve got PSafe features ready to go?

<![CDATA[Useful Tips for Recovering Lost Data (On a PC)]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/useful-tips-recovering-lost-data-pc/ Mon, 08 Aug 2016 15:14:27 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2720 It’s happened to everyone at one point or another: you’re close to the end of a project, but then a slip of the finger or a computer crash causes your file to disappear. Re-booting may help, but only if you had hit save right beforehand, so to get back your file you need to work quickly and carefully. Following are four tips on how to best find — and recover — your lost data.

1. Check your recycle bin.

The first step is to see if your file has only been accidentally deleted — easy to do when you’re quickly clicking through multiple files and folders. So it may be as simple as just checking your recycle bin!

2. See if you’ve sent any version of the file via email, or have stored it elsewhere.

If you’re lucky, you’ve already sent the file to a colleague, or yourself, so have another copy in your email, or on some other cloud-based platform. Even if just an earlier draft of the document, you still won’t have to start over from scratch. You can also find missing files in surprising places, for example lost or damaged image files can sometimes be recovered from your memory card in Windows.

3. Use your backup program.

Regular backups of your hard drive or libraries are the most surefire way to avoid losing files completely.  Windows computers come with built-in backup programs for both documents and images, and doing so daily is a good habit to get into. Most programs also perform incremental backups, meaning that new files of files that have been changed are copied as well.

4. Try a file recovery program.

There are a number of portable file recovery programs that can scan your disks for lost or deleted files. Once scanned, you can simply search for the missing file by name and size, then click “Restore,” and your file will be recovered.

A great way to protect your data is to make sure your computer is running efficiently and never gets overloaded. To improve your computer’s health, download PSafe Total for Windows. This free software includes a Memory Booster that optimizes your data, frees up your storage space, and speeds up your device. A less-cluttered computer that is able to process more quickly is a computer that is is also less likely to crash.
