Working on your computer leaves a lot of traces behind. Almost any software product you use records everything you do.

For example, your Internet browser (whether you use Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.) keeps track of every website you have visited, and it also saves all visited web pages, pictures and movies to your computer for quick access later. When you chat with someone (either using Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, and so on), all your chat history is recorded on your computer. A copy of every document, picture or movie you open is also saved in temporary directories and sometimes remains there for a long time.

Even if you are an expert and know where to look for this information and you go to manually delete it, you need to know that the normal delete function does not truly erase data. The data sits there until it gets overwritten by another file (which in some cases doesn’t happen for a while).

So programs or people who gain access to your computer do in fact have the capabilities to recover what you thought was long gone. This can result in very unpleasant and life destroying situations: your identity can be stolen, because sensitive credit card information or other personal stuff may be easily recovered; you can lose your job because of the secret project you were working on; you lose your wife/husband because of the love e-mails you didn't securely erase. And the examples can continue.
