Editor's review

There can be several instances wherein computer usage is recorded by the system memory, especially the Internet usage and is captured in the history column that can be duly erased. Elimination of the history data is important in case there are several users for one system and hence it becomes vital to protect individual privacy s that no one else gets a peek into what the other has accessed over the web and over the system. For a normal user with limited technical expertise deleting the history tabs would be the sure shot answer to protect personal privacy; however for any trained individual restoring deleted history is pure cakewalk which can prove to be detrimental and hence, Prevent Restore 3.01 can be utilized in this case that makes deleted files and folders absolutely unrecoverable.

Prevent Restore opens with a neatly organized interface with the main options placed at the bottom wherein the user can proceed to work towards eliminating the files that cannot be recovered at all. The user can decide which of the computer disks require to cleaned up and work accordingly to erase the details of the folders. Made as a wizard program, the utility can be quite friendly for any novice as it systematically works to overwrite all the free space on the hard disk that can have traces of deleted files with some other data that rules out the possibility of any recovery. There are quite a few security algorithms that replace the data traces with random characters, digits and spaces; and while writing out the program fills out the information leaving no chances of any recovery.

To sum up, Prevent Restore 3.01 works as a useful program that contains enhanced interface that can help in making the files unrecoverable and hence gets a rating of 3.5 points for its utility value.

Publisher's description

If you clean computer's Recycle Bin, the files and folders are not deleted forever. Anyone can use special recovery software and restore any deleted data (files and folders) because any deleted file still exists on the hard disk until will be overwritten with other data. The main purpose of this program is to make impossible recovery of files and folders which was deleted in the past. Program uses several security algorithms (DoD 5220.22, Gutmann and other). While working this program fills out information to the end of each cluster, leaving no chance to restore even just one word! Prevent Restore can wipe deleted files on any disk, for example: usb flash, SSD, memory stick or any other sort of removable disk (media storage). However you cannot use it on CD (CDR, DVD) - such disks you should physically burn to avoid any possibility of recovery. As an additional feature the program can erase paging file of OS Windows (virtual memory cache) which contains cache of personal information, for example: usernames and passwords.

No freeware at all - $12.95 - just fishing for customers?
