* Loaning, selling or donating your computer without properly destroying sensitive data is an invitation to identity theft & access to your personal information.
* The only way to protect your privacy is to permanently overwrite your sensitive data using a professional data destruction, digital data shredding tool such as AceErase.

AceErase 1.5 Professional Version Features
AceErase permanently destroys files and folders by overwriting the data with unique patterns, rendering the data irrecoverable.
The professional version includes five data destruction algorithms:
Fast (Zero Pattern) - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with zeros before deleting. The number of passes is chosen by the user (up to 99 passes).
Pseudo Random Data - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with random characters before deleting. The number of passes is chosen by the user (up to 99 passes).
US DOD 5220.22-M (8-306. C) - Overwrites all addressable locations of the file with a single character before deleting. The character is chosen by the user. The number of passes is chosen by user (up to 99 passes).
US DOD 5220.22-M (8-306. E) - Overwrites all addressable locations with a character, its complement, then a random character before deleting. The initial character is chosen by the user. This is a 3 pass wipe.
Gutmann Method (Most Secure) - Goes far beyond government requirements. The file is overwritten with a special sequence of characters, as designed by Peter Gutmann, before deleting. This is a 35 pass wipe.
