• Remove ALL Evidence of your Online Activity

• Destroy Email and Newsgroup History
• Secure Files with Strong Encryption

Protect your Internet Privacy
Did you realize every picture, video clip, graphic, email or chat room conversation is written to your hard drive? CyberScrub Privacy Suite protects you by erasing all evidence of your on-line activity.

"Deleted" files remain on your computer
Remember- "Delete" does not mean "Erase".
Deleted files are easily retrieved using simple recovery tools. Sensitive data, such as passwords, financials, tax and health records are at risk! Privacy Suite erases specific files beyond recovery, and can also be used to make sure previously "deleted" files cannont be recovered. Don't allow discovery by snoops, computer technicians or other unauthorized persons. Deleted data can come back to haunt you.
Privacy Suite is tested with Encase® forensic software to ensure its effectiveness and reliability.

Privacy Suite Review

Privacy Suite introduces a new meaning for the verb ERASE. Erasing a file now means wiping its contents beyond recovery, scrambling its name and dates and finally removing it from disk. Privacy Suite is fully integrated with the Windows shell, so you can drag files and folders from Explorer and drop them in Privacy Suite, or you can erase them directly from Explorer or My Computer, with a single mouse click.

Privacy Suite is also able to completely destroy any data from previously deleted files that might still be accessible on your disk. To accomplish this task, Privacy Suite will destroy the files from the Recycle Bin, it will wipe the disk free space (that usually contains data from previously deleted files) and it will also wipe the slack (unused) portion of existing files (that may contain sensitive data that comes from your computer).

The extensive erasing capabilities of Privacy Suite make sure that not even a trace remains after erasing data. Privacy Suite has a lot of wipe (overwrite) methods, differing in speed and security.

Among those featured is an advanced 35 wipe method based on the research of Peter Gutmann.

The fastest ones offer normal security and can stop software recovery tools. The slower ones match and exceed the specifications of the U.S. Department of Defense and are designed to prevent recovery by hardware tools. If you are not satisfied with the existing wipe methods, you can even define your own wipe methods. Advanced features like verifying each wipe pass and each disk operation allow Privacy Suite to intercept any failures and inform you if data is not successfully erased.

With Privacy Suite you can automatically clear the contents of folders that usually contain "cookies" and other sensitive data (such as the Web browser cache, swap file, "locked files", Temporary Internet files, the recent document list, etc.). You can also erase entire folder structures (folders with all their subfolders and files) and even entire drives. Features like the possibility of collecting multiple file specifications (e.g. *.tmp) turn Privacy Suite into a clean-up utility.

Additional features include the ability to automatically perform erase operations from batch files or scheduling software, password protection, optional confirmation, logging support, and more.

Note- CyberScrub security products are purchased and deployed by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Departments of the Interior and Defense, the United Nations and Fortune 100 companies. With a Dun & Bradstreet Open Ratings score of "94", CyberScrub is a trusted industry leader. Don't place your security with "Erasers/Eliminators" - choose the professionals

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why do I need Privacy Suite?
A: For three reasons: One, you need to feel secure and confident that once you have deleted information, it's GONE. Without a secure file deletion utility your confidential information can be easily retrieved. Second, your Internet activity is an open book. Small files are placed on your computer, "cookies" that track your movements and create user profiles. If you view photos on the web or in newsgroup they remain on your hard drive. E-mail you "trashed" can be reconstructed with little effort. Your chat room conversations may provide an opportunity for embarassment. Privacy Suite deletes your discarded files beyond recovery and eliminates evidence of your Internet activity. Finally, this fine utility provides strong encryption to secure your sensitive data from unauthorized discovery.

Q: Why is Privacy Suite labeled version 4.0? Isn't this a new product?
A: Privacy Suite has formerly been known simply as CyberScrub Professional, Standard or Basic. As our product line grows there exists the potential for confusion with the name of a product and company being the same. We felt this was a godd time to rename our flagship offering to clearly identify its benefits.

Q: What are the major new features of Privacy Suite?
A: There are over 50 new features and enhancements however some of the major additions are:
1) A new user interface
2) Encryption features to secure your files
3) Automatic Program Update Notification
4) A Permissions module to limit functions to Users or Groups
5) The ability to automatically erase all newsgroup evidence from the Privacy Guard
6) Generate and submit customer support tickets from with in the program
7) A Scheduler to run Privacy Suite at designated times, when idle, or at system events such as start up or shutdown.

Q: Can Privacy Suite be run under multiple user accounts?
A: Privacy Suite removes the sensitive information (Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, etc.) from the user account in which it was run. To clean sensitive information from other users, you need to switch to another user and run Privacy Suite from that user. Privacy Suite has been designed to allow you to run it from another user without having to install it under each individual user (just run its executable file). Once loaded on a differnt user, it will automatically detect the correct paths for that user, so you won't need to re-configure anything.

If you want to clean sensitive information from other users (without switching the user account), there is also an option to do this: just add their corresponding folders to the Custom Areas of Privacy Guard and they will be erased each time your run it. The only condition is that you have access to delete the files from other users (if you are administrator, you should be able to do this).

Q: Does Privacy Suite eliminate my Peer2Peer activity?
A: Yes, Privacy Suite rids your computer of evidence from 22 popular P2P applications including Kazaa, iMesh, Morpheus, etc... For a full listing of supported Peer2Peer applications see "Privacy Suite Features"

Q: What platforms does Privacy Suite Support?
A: Privacy Suite works with Windows 98, 2000, NT, ME, and XP.

Q: Can I use the Internet Privacy Guard with Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, AOL or MSN?
A: Yes, our new version.

Q: Which wipe method should I use?
A: If your disks are likely to be investigated with hardware recovery tools, you should use one of the following wipe methods: Stop Hardware Recovery(DoD), 3+7+3 Beyond DoD Standards or Stop Hardware Recovery (Gutmann). These methods are very secure, they can stop both software and hardware recovery tools, but they are very slow. If you only want to stop software recovery tools, you should use Stop Software Recovery Tools or the three Quick Wiping wipe methods. They are less secure than the Stop Hardware Recovery methods, but much faster.
