Data Shield is a secure deletion program that removes sensitive information from a hard drive. Normally, deleting a file only marks the file as deleted on your drive but the data remains and may still be recovered. Data Shield will obliterate it so that data may not be recovered by overwriting it x number of times or according to Department of Defense specification.
It has options to do a standard or secure delete on:
Individual files
File listings
Contents of a directory
A directory tree
Complete drives
Freespace on a given drive
TMP, TEMP or DELETE directories
Netscape browser cache
Netscape history and drop down history list
Data Shield will automatically find standard installations of Netscape 2.02, 4.04, 4.61 or 6.0 and offer to clean any part of it according to the versions need.
In this version we have included the routines to securely overwrite and clean entries for the new IBM Browser as well as a few changes in file deletion routines to increase effectiveness.
If you have sensitive data on a drive (financial records or client lists for example) never give away or sell the drive without cleaning it thoroughly.
The Enhanced E has a few new features and fixes also. New items in v2.4:
Added ascii character viewer and insert tool.
Strip trailing spaces also when "Strip # chars"
Fixed "Strip # chars" when "Left" is greater than LineLength
Changed hot-keys for ClipText.
Data Shield is not for sale separately but is available as part of the PillarSoft Suite. The Enhanced E is $25 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others. Take a peek at our website for more information on the Enhanced E and Data Shield.
