Description

East-Tec Eraser protects your privacy, identity and confidential information and removes all evidence of your computer and online activity. Eraser meets and exceeds government and industry standards for the permanent erasure of digital information when erasing your Internet history, Web pages, pictures, unwanted cookies, chatroom conversations, confidential documents you want to get rid of or files deleted in the past.

Key benefits

Protects Your Privacy and Identity

East-Tec Eraser completely destroys information stored without your knowledge or approval: Internet history, Web pages and pictures from sites visited on the Internet, unwanted cookies, chatroom conversations, deleted e-mail messages and files, temporary files, the Windows swap file, the Recycle Bin, etc.

Real Deletion

Normal deletion is not secure: when you delete a file, its contents and information about it remain on disk. East-Tec Eraser makes sure deleted files are really deleted, so that previously deleted files like valuable corporate trade secrets, business plans, personal files, photos or confidential letters will not fall into the wrong hands.

Cleans Your Favorite Browsers

East-Tec Eraser works with all your favorite browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, America Online, MSN Explorer, Opera, Safari, Netscape Navigator) and securely deletes all your Internet history, visited web pages and images (Temporary Internet Files or cache), address bar locations, unwanted cookies, and more.

Cleans Your Favorite Programs

East-Tec Eraser cleans Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL Messenger, ICQ, Outlook and Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, Limewire, Morpheus, Kazaa, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Winamp, Google Toolbar, Microsoft Office, Norton Antivirus, ZoneAlarm, WinZip, WinRar, Download Accelerator, and many more.

Improves System Performance

East-Tec Eraser speeds up your computer and programs, deletes thousands of unnecessary and temporary files and frees up a lot of valuable disk space.

Permanent Erasing

East-Tec Eraser meets and exceeds government and industry standards for the permanent erasure of digital information, Russian and German security standards, and industry standards like the Bruce Schneier Algorithm or the Peter Gutmann Method.

Automatic Protection

You can set East-Tec Eraser to automatically clean your computer at specified intervals, like when you close your Internet browser, when the computer is not used, at a certain date and time, once a day, or you can set longer cleaning operations to run once a week.

Entire Drive Wiper

East-Tec Eraser can securely erase entire CD/DVD disks, USB drives or hard disk drives with all files and folders. Use this option if you share, give away or sell disks to other people and you don't want them to see what data you used to have on those disks.

The Anti-Surprise (Anti-Boss or Panic) Key

Automatically close all open windows and immediately run East-Tec Eraser with preselected options (e.g. erase your Internet traces in stealth mode) with just a combination of keys. Use it in emergency situations to protect your privacy.

Very Easy to Use

East-Tec Eraser has an intuitive interface and wizards that guide you through all the necessary steps required to protect yourself. You can also erase files and folders with one click directly from Windows, or drag and drop them in East-Tec Eraser.

Flexible and Personalized Protection

East-Tec Eraser fully supports your personal privacy needs and allows you to define your own sensitive information, cookies you approve and want to keep, and even your own erase methods.

Advanced Features for Professional Use

East-Tec Eraser features running in stealth mode completely invisible to the user, preventing specific data from being erased based on filters, granting different permissions to users, password protection, processor usage priority settings, command line parameters to allow advanced automation or running from batch files, etc.

    New computer

    Bottom Line:

    What do I do with my old computer Hard drives? With this program I can use the Gutmann Method and I now no longer have to worry about my old data falling into the wrong hands.

    This program is outstanding it uses the Gutmann Method which normally a very slow method, but this program is a little faster then the rest.

    Bob and Joy Schwabach says:

    Really Easy-to-Use Program

    Bottom Line:

    This program makes it easy to keep your data private. After you install it, a window opens up on your computer screen asking you to "run Privacy Guard" and "Erase Deleted Data." If you're not sure what those options mean, click an "info" button. Then click "fix" to make everything secure.
