If you have any concerns about your privacy then you need CyberScrub. It removes every trace of your PC activity, including files, email and web browser tracks.

It can also permanently delete data from hard drives, preventing recovery using both software and hardware techniques.

CyberScrub's data erasure exceeds standards set by the US Department of Defense for permanent removal of digital information. So, no matter how hard somebody may try, CyberScrub makes data recovery impossible.

CyberScrub has two modes: automatic and manual. Automatic scrubbing searches your entire PC and destroys any internet activity and previously deleted data it finds.

Manual mode lets you permanently erase specific files; simply drag the item(s) into the CyberScrub window and hit delete. Alternatively, right-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer brings up a menu containing an 'erase beyond recovery' option.

It is so easy to use that the comprehensive help files included are almost redundant.

CyberScrub can also erase data from various removable media, including floppy, Zip and Jaz drives.
