The Internet is Infected! The Ultimate Cyber Security Guide for Small Business and Home Computing!

If you find the information on this blog valuable you will find my upcoming three volume cyber security books infinitely more so! Visit my website at http://thatcybersecurityguy.com. My 8 years of research and 900 written pages are about much more than just cyber security as my writing presents valuable small business and general home computer knowledge. Visit me on Twitter @ThatCyberSecGuy. See the ACLU video "Invasion of the Data Snatchers" at YouTube to understand why you need my books and PDF files on the infected Internet.

WinMerge Large File Compare Work-A-Round

One of the things I noticed comparing my C: drive files to my USB backups was the WinMerge utility did not error out on large files in separate directories.  What I discovered is you can move one large file to a new directory (C:\users\<username>\Tmp) for example, rename the file to the name of the file in the original directory, and compare the two directories.  WinMerge will recognize if the files are identical or not without erroring out.  If all files are identical, delete the TMP directory and all files in it.

What is cool that now WinMerge will work with all files enabling you to clean up all your backups!
