YOUR ALL-IN-ONE
PRIVACY AND SECURITY SOLUTION
Eraser
Do you realize how much information passes through your computer every second? Internet browsers, office programs and multimedia applications are constantly processing huge reams of data. The significant part of this data is invisible to the ordinary user, but is easily accessible to an expert. All confidential information, such as visited sites, loaded and processed files, your e-mail correspondence - all is saved and can be extracted at any moment. The information is kept for technical purposes and not necessarily to spy on you, but it is important to remember that it can potentially work against you.
For instance, you may object to your relatives reading your correspondence with friends. There is nothing unreasonable about that, but you risk being misunderstood. Or maybe you do not want your boss to know that you use the Internet at work for non work-related purposes. Such use might not in any way affect your productivity but the question is whether your boss feels the same way.
It's up to you to decide
Obviously, if armed with a Computer Science degree you can probably eliminate the traces of your activity on your own. You would probably go about finding the file, which is responsible for the History of your Internet browser and delete it. You can learn how to delete the list of printed URLs and find out a more or less reliable way to delete files and e-mails permanently. But imagine how many programs you use, how many traces a single keystroke can leave, and you will eventually come to the realization that the complete and safe removal of all signs of your activity will take much more time than the activity itself. A much better alternative is to have a program that quickly and reliably performs the same functions. That program is Eraser.
Why Eraser?
As a matter of fact, Eraser is not the only program out there designed to protect your privacy. Nevertheless, there are at least three advantages that Eraser offers over its competition:
Eraser deletes everything. In comparison to other similar programs, which usually have a very narrow focus, Eraser can be applied to different Internet browsers, any office applications and all widespread multimedia applications. Whichever program you use, Eraser will reliably protect all confidential information.
Eraser is easy to use. You do not have to be a computer wizard to learn and use its features. Eraser is a program for regulars consumers, not for programmers.
Finally, Eraser really works. Unfortunately you cannot apply this statement to the majority of other similar programs.
Eraser removes everything
All your activity on the internet, whether it is downloading files from various sites, writing e-mails, chatting on ICQ or AIM, or whether you are editing a documents or downloading music / movies - all of this information should remain in your private realm. You cannot always count on your relatives', colleagues', and boss' understanding. And that means that you have to make sure that no private information compromises you or your family or your work relations by getting into the wrong hands.
Personal Internet
As others who use the Internet not just for work purposes, you would not necessarily want to make your site visit history known. The fact that your co-workers or guests at home can do this even without your knowledge is therefore quite alarming. And as mentioned before, you can accidentally click on some obscure link or funny picture, without any certainty of what will happen or where it will take you. Eraser allows you to safely and accurately remove all signs of your activity on the Internet and leave only that which you want. Compared to other similar programs Eraser is equally compatible with many different browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla, and Netscape Navigator. Browsing history, URLs typed in the address line, and files loaded into temporary folders - you will be able to liquidate all of them with a single key-stroke. Regardless of the browser you use, Eraser will help you to quickly and efficiently delete all confidential information, including entered passwords and filled in forms that are kept on your hard disk. In addition, with Eraser you will be protected from Trojans and "spyware" programs that are able to transfer confidential information to third parties without your knowledge.
Private office
Do you want anybody to know what documents you review and edit? Do you really want someone with the most basic computer skills to be able to restore relocated or deleted file on your computer? How important is it to you to be able to fully control access to confidential and proprietary information on your hard drive? If you think that you already do, you are most likely mistaken. The operating system installed on your computer carefully maintains records of opened and edited files, whether it is with Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point or Outlook. With Eraser, you can easily liquidate all of the potentially damaging information that your computer is constantly collecting with just a few mouse clicks. You can also delete all sent and received e-mails permanently regardless of which e-mail client you use (Outlook Express, The Bat!, Netscape Messenger, etc.).
Your multimedia
In today's world, it would be foolish not to take advantage of the wide-spread opportunities offered by Multimedia applications. Good music significantly increases working efficiency, while video gives you a well-earned opportunity to switch over and relax a bit at work. Unfortunately, not all employers understand the beneficial use of multimedia applications and the higher productivity they provide. This is confounded by the widespread and outdated point of view among employers that Internet radio or streaming radio is too expensive and cuts into the bottom line. As funny as it all sounds, it is sobering to imagine a presentation of a new flash clip to management where, instead of the clip, you accidentally load an amusing (to you, not the management) short movie downloaded during lunch. Needless to say, it will be hard to persuade your boss that you really needed it to boost your productivity.
Eraser helps you avoid those kinds of ridiculous and annoying mistakes. A few simple clicks in the appropriate check boxes and the "Clean" button virtually guarantee that the mishaps at the presentation will not happen ever again. The list of multimedia applications supported by Eraser is tremendous and constantly updated. So even if you wanted to find a widespread program that is not supported by Eraser, chances of you being successful are relatively slim.
