Your personal pictures and secret files can easily end up in the wrong hands when you are selling you computer, give away or dispose of your old computer or hard disks. Identity theft is now an extensive security danger. This is because clicking on "Delete" does not mean your documents are forever deleted. Even formatting the hard drive is not enough to permanently remove information. O&O SafeErase permanently removes your secret files using recognized ways so that a restoring process is never possible, not even when using the best file recovery application.
Features:
- "Instant Erase": Selecting documents over the context menu opens a mini-dialog from where removal can rapidly take place
- Permanent elimination of documents, folders, Memory cards and USB sticks
- Remove an entire PC, no boot medium required
- Remove internet traces and temporary program files
- Six ways to permanently remove particular data
- Complex reports as proof of removal
- Analysis utility to search for unsafe removed documents
- Adapted elimination method for SSDs (TRIM)
- Improved report and activity management
All files, applications, settings and the operating system are removed so that a recovery even with the best file recovery application is impossible. You can remove an entire computer containing the system partition without boot media. After rebooting the system the removal process begins directly. Should an SSD not support TRIM, then the information is overwritten with zeros to avert wear effects.
Additionally to many minor improvements, O&O SafeErase contains an analytical instrument that scans your PC for temporary or unsafely removed files. You can clean your PC so that information thieves never have a chance to restore old documents for possible misuse. SSDs can also be discovered, and removals made on them will be done with TRIM commands that spare resources.
