Did you know?

￭ Files that you have deleted or emptied from the recycle bin are merely hidden (marked as deleted but not really removed from your hard drive), and can be recovered with widely available data recovery software.
￭ Reformatting your hard drive does not guarantee that your data is destroyed.
￭ Loaning, selling or donating your computer without properly destroying sensitive data is an invitation to identity theft & access to your personal information.
￭ The only way to protect your privacy is to permanently overwrite your sensitive data using a professional data destruction, digital data shredding tool such as AceErase.

Here are some key features of "AceErase File Shredder":

· AceErase permanently destroys files and folders by overwriting the data with unique patterns, rendering the data irrecoverable.
· The professional version includes five data destruction algorithms:
· Fast (Zero Pattern) - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with zeros before deleting. The number of passes is chosen by the user (up to 99 passes).
· Pseudo Random Data - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with random characters before deleting. The number of passes is chosen by the user (up to 99 passes).
· US DOD 5220.22-M (8-306. C) - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with a single character before deleting. The character is chosen by the user. The number of passes is chosen by user (up to 99 passes).
· US DOD 5220.22-M (8-306. E) - Overwrites all addressable locations with a character, its complement, then a random character before deleting. The initial character is chosen by the user. This is a 3 pass wipe.
