Summary: Good idea, bad execution
Review: I was pleasently surprised by this product. One of its greatest features is that you can run it entirely off of CD - no installation is required. It has a number of features including the ability to delete files, to scramble that "empty" space on your hard drive, zap entirely hard drives, and it even comes with 5security settings and the ability to program your own security destruction code. My only complaint is that the instructions are printed on the cheap carboard that keeps the box's shape.

Summary: Overpriced and not user friendly
Review: I would highly recommend searching for a different product before buying this one. I am glad I got mine used for five bucks or I would be even more disappointed. This product is NOT user friendly for the computer novice...talk about confusing! I read the directions SEVERAL times and still didn't feel confident that I was doing the right thing. The instructions are of little to no help. I guess if you are selling your computer and want to erase everything before you do, then maybe this is the product for you... but, if you just don't want a few old e-mails or pictures or whatever on your computer, buy something else. The processes on the disk also take forever and a day so if you have limited time, don't try this program!

Summary: Good idea, bad execution
Review: The whole concept of data-destorying concept is very good...it is necessary to use such a program to destory important data. This program, however, represents a poor execution. For exmaple, when "zapping" a hard drive to remove previously-deleted files, it removes only the data, not the file name. In addition, the user interface is dated and unprofessional.

Review: This product really doesn't do much at all. I purchased it for free after rebate, thinking it was one of wincleaner's suites. In reality, it is just a data removal solution, which you can get for around $20 or even free. A better use of money would be to buy Norton Systemworks, which sells for the same price (and often free after rebate), and includes everything available in this product in addition to hordes of other useful tools.
