Securely delete all traces of your data! O&O SafeErase allows you to
permanently delete your data using recognized methods so that no one
can get to your data, even when using specialized software.
Using internationally recognized methods, O&O SafeErase deletes
sensitive data so securely that a reconstruction, even with special
software, is no longer possible. In the new version 7, an analysis
function has been integrated which searches for data that was deleted
non-securely. With just a few clicks, the computer can be cleaned to
such an extent that unauthorized persons have no chance to dig out old
files and misuse them.
All files, settings, applications and operating system are deleted so
that a recovery is impossible. It is possible to delete the entire
computer including the system partition without boot media. After
restarting the system the deletion process begins automatically. Should
an SSD not support TRIM, the data is simply overwritten with zeros to
avoid wear effects.
Don’t give data spies a chance!
What happens to your old computer or hard drive when you get a new one?
Do you return your company’s computers to the leasing company or even
sell your laptop on the Internet? In that case, there are good chances
that complete strangers might gain access to your private pictures,
letters or business secrets.
The fact of the matter is, data deleted using Windows is not really deleted!
Unauthorized persons can still recover your digital pictures as well as
your personal and company data, even if you formatted the disk
eforehand. Surfing the Internet leaves its mark as well: On the basis of
the Internet browsing history stored on your computer, it’s easy to
generate an accurate profile of your preferences, see the pages you’ve
visited, and even scan the files you’ve downloaded. Protect yourself by
using O&O SafeErase to permanently delete all data from your hard
disk using scientifically recognized methods.
The analysis tool of O&O SafeErase 7 lets you track down and
immediately remove all the files that are a security risk on your
computer. What’s more, data from SSDs can now be permanently deleted as
well using methods that go sparingly on resources. Never take chances
with your data: SafeErase it!
Internet security
When surfing the Internet, your browser usually stores Internet files on
your hard disk unnoticed. These files can provide information about
websites you’ve visited or the passwords you’ve entered. Makes no
difference whether it involves cookies, data entered on forms, or
browsing history – O&O SafeErase lists all the information saved for
each browser you use, and you can then SafeErase them individually or
as a bundle. Once deleted, nobody will be able to detect your Internet
activity and your online accounts are protected from unauthorized
access.
SafeErasing your entire computer
Deleting the entire computer allows you to permanently remove all data
before you dispose of, sell, or give your computer away. All files,
settings, applications. and the operating system itself are deleted so
that recovery is impossible. You can be sure that nobody will ever
restore your data and misuse it. With O&O SafeErase, you can even
delete your entire computer without a start medium (e.g. Boot CD).
Six methods for your security
O&O SafeErase allows you to choose from among six different deletion
methods. The methods of deletion differ in the number of runs and the
type of overwriting process. These methods ensure maximum security,
whatever your requirements.
In addition to standardized deletion methods of the U. S. Department of
Defense (DoD) and the German Federal Office for Information Security
(BSI) you can also select a complex mathematical method (Gutmann
method), which is en par with the highest security levels. In this
scientifically approved method of data deletion, corresponding areas of
the hard disk are overwritten 35 times using precisely defined rules
along with fixed and random values. In this way, O&O SafeErase
exceeds even the requirements of the DoD and the BSI. Quick deletion can
also be made by just overwriting data with zeros.
