Dr. Preventor 5.5.0

Preventor protects your privacy by making the files you thought you "threw away" unrecoverable. If you sell, recycle or give away an old computer, or if your laptop or memory stick is stolen, hackers and identity thieves can recover the files you "threw away" in the Recycle Bin, because they are not necessarily erased. When a computer saves a file it writes the data on a disc (or memory stick) and makes a note of the file's location. When you put the file in the Recycle Bin and "empty" it, the computer erases its note of the file's location, but the actual data is left intact on the disc until some other file is eventually written over it. Hackers can easily find and read these files using standard data recovery software. The Dr. Preventor Data Recovery Protection program makes your deleted files unrecoverable by systematically writing meaningless numbers everywhere except on the current files. Regular users can get started in two clicks, while the paranoid can choose how many times to overwrite and whether to use zeros, random numbers, or a personal message. Safeguarding a large hard drive can take hours, depending on the disc's size, its connection to the computer, the fragmentation of the file structure, and the level of security desired. A graphic chart and detailed log give a clear picture of the Doctor's progress and speed. You can always see how much time remains until your disc is clean.
