Acronis DriveCleanser

Protect your privacy by securely obliterating data from your entire hard disk or individual partitions

Included into value priced Acronis PowerUtilities 2003

The mass media and the Internet are full of stories about used computers being sold with hard disk drives containing confidential data — banking account information, credit card numbers, social security data, human resource, accounting and other internal documents, or even restricted information concern a company's board of directors!

This confidential data should not only be safeguarded according to the strict rules, but it should also be reliably and completely destroyed when needed. You know you have deleted all the financial, corporate, and personal files, and even formatted and deleted hard disk partitions — but are they really gone from the drive? The answer is NO!

Acronis DriveCleanser 6.0 guarantees the complete destruction of data on selected partitions and/or entire disks.
