You know how information is still available for recovery even if you shift-delete it, right? East-Tec Eraser makes sure that everything it wipes is gone forever; this means that it renders useless any attempt to recover it both by software and hardware means.

We’ve got no less than 100 licenses to give away to those dropping some relevant words about the product in the comments section of this article.

East-Tec Eraser 2011 has a simple design fit for any type of user. The 13 wipe algorithms it is equipped with stand for various security levels as far as data recovery is concerned. However, it is safe to acknowledge that if you choose Peter Gutmann’s solution the entire operation will take the longest to complete, while the information erased will become totally corrupted and impossible to recover even through hardware means of data restoration.

If none of the default wipe options available are to your liking the app is flexible enough to let you create your own algorithm. You can set as many passes as you want and define a different erase pattern for each of them.

East-Tec Eraser 2011 can be used to sanitize drives by wiping them clean or erase already deleted data. The same principle of deleting the information beyond the possibility of forensic recovery is applied in these cases as well.

Another usage for the application is to wipe traces stored by web browser as a result as Internet navigation sessions. Web browsers can indeed get rid of cookies, cache and history, but East-Tec Eraser 2011 ensures that they stay deleted.

Your chances to win one of the 100 free codes are only as good as your comment. So make your remarks as honest and witty as possible.
