For three reasons: One, you need to feel secure and confident that once you have deleted information, it's GONE. Without a secure file deletion utility your confidential information can be easily retrieved. Second, your Internet activity is an open book. Small files are placed on your computer, "cookies" that track your movements and create user profiles. If you view photos on the web or in newsgroup they remain on your hard drive. E-mail you "trashed" can be reconstructed with little effort. Your chat room conversations may provide an opportunity for embarassment. Privacy Suite deletes your discarded files beyond recovery and eliminates evidence of your Internet activity. Finally, this fine utility provides strong encryption to secure your sensitive data from unauthorized discovery.
