Introduction

What is Acronis PrivacyExpert
Acronis PrivacyExpert provides you with complete confidentiality while
working with a stand-alone or networked personal computer (PC). The
confidentiality that Acronis PrivacyExpert delivers allows you to clean-up
trace data and Windows files by removing any evidence of your work or
Internet activities.
Unlike other software Acronis PrivacyExpert fully removes evidence of PC
usage through the use of guaranteed data destruction algorithms.
Acronis PrivacyExpert also increases PC performance by cleaning out
temporary files.
Why is it necessary to keep PC work confidential?
Working with a PC creates a number of serious security problems for user:
1. You have created and deleted multiple files on your computer. You do
not want anyone to view its content. But is a deleted file really read
protected? No! The problem is that deleted files can be easily recovered,
under the Windows operating system, to gain access to information a
user would like to conceal.
2. Windows and the most widespread browsers, Internet Explorer and
Netscape Navigator, provide very weak protection on keeping trace
Internet data private.
3. While working with a PC, you leave thousands of bytes of evidence
showing your actions (records in various system files) you don't even
know about.
The Windows operating system keeps almost all information on your
work, including Internet connections; documents you opened, created or
deleted; sites visited; and information that had interested you (for
example, what product or service categories attracted you). In some
cases – what on-line shopping you did with credit card numbers, and
even ISP access passwords.
Your every computer action is somehow registered by Windows.
Only Acronis PrivacyExpert is the guaranteed solution to all these problems.
Acronis PrivacyExpert thoroughly checks Windows sections for evidence of
user activity and completely removes and obliterates it.
