East-Tec Eraser 2007 protects you from Vista's Shadow Copies
May, 2007 - EAST Technologies has extended the data security and privacy protectionof East-Tec Eraser 2007 to cope with Windows Vista's new "Previous Versions" (alsoknown as "Shadow Copies") function. Vista lets you create and store shadow copies ofyour files. Unlike other third-party file erasing programs that only remove theoriginal copies of your files, East-Tec Eraser 2007 gives you the option to alsoerase your shadow copies.
Many Vista users are unaware of how the new operating system threatens theirprivacy. As a default selection, the new shadow copies are automatically turned onwhen Vista is installed. Without your knowledge or approval, your computer isstoring copies of your computer activities, as well as information about yourInternet surfing. Erasing this information doesn't ensure your privacy because theshadow copies remain intact. East-Tec Eraser 2007, however, permanently removes boththe original and shadow copies, and protects your privacy. Used regularly, East-TecEraser 2007 can prevent identity theft, as well as bring you peace of mind byensuring that your private information remains private.
New features in the latest release include support for dozens of popularapplications, including the communications and multimedia programs that you don'twant people to know about. East-Tec Eraser 2007 also lets you import and exportoptions, making it easier to configure the program on multiple computers. You canopt to not show the files and folders being cleaned while the program is erasingyour files. There are also additional ways to protect specified folders from beingerased.
Without your knowledge, Windows stores revealing information about you in temporaryfolders, Windows swap files, Internet history directories, cookies, and deletedemail messages. This information contains words and images that tell which web sitesyou've visited, which Instant Messaging conversations you've held, which chatroomconversations you've participated in, and lots of other information that you may notwish to become public. East-Tec Eraser 2007 finds this information, and destroys it.The program meets or exceeds all U.S. Department of Defense standards forpermanently removing information from computers.
Different Internet browsers store private information in different places. East-TecEraser 2007 works with all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, NetscapeNavigator, Mozilla Firefox, America Online, MSN Explorer, and Opera. It also workswith all of the popular peer-to-peer programs, including Kazaa, Kazaa Lite, iMesh,Napster, Morpheus, Direct Connect, Limewire, and Shareaza. In addition, East-TecEraser 2007 supports ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer,Microsoft Office, Google Toolbar, and many other popular programs. The program knowswhere your computer has stored sensitive information, and deletes it, permanently.
It's easy for inexperienced users to begin to benefit immediately from usingEast-Tec Eraser 2007. The built-in Wizard walks you through the steps needed toprotect your privacy and sensitive information. You can schedule the program to runat regular intervals, automatically securing your privacy. You can even drag anddrop files onto East-Tec Eraser 2007, and the program will permanently erase them sothat they can never be recovered. Critical folders (such as Windows or System32) areprotected by default, against accidental erasure.
Power users can employ command-line parameters to set the program's options,integrate the program with Windows Explorer, and create user-defined erasuremethods. You can run the program in stealth mode, completely invisible to othercomputer users. Set filters to prevent specific data from being erased. You can evenimplement a password-protected system of permissions for each computer user.
