Pop-up and spyware blocker, password cleanup, total disk wiping among the new capabilities for privacy suite
November 25, 2003, South San Francisco,
CA Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in systems
software development, announced the immediate availability of
Acronis Privacy Expert Suite 7.0. The package provides corporate
and individual users with the ability to protect confidential data
by permanently removing all copies and trace data from cache files,
logs and other parts of the disk drive where records of the data
and computing activity are stored. It also allows users to enhance
their personal privacy and protect their computers from downloading
unwanted software.
Among the features added to Acronis Privacy
Expert Suite 7.0 are a pop-up advertising and spyware blocker, the
ability to completely erase typed passwords from logs and other
files, erasure of Web-based forms from your browser software,
enhanced mailer support, the ability to distinguish between
last-visited URLs and typed URLs for clean-up, and a scheduler to
automate the system-cleansing process.
The software also has enhanced features that can
be used to obliterate all data from a disk drive in order to
prepare it for redeployment or disposal. Formerly known as Acronis
Drive Cleanser, this feature allows the user to select from one of
seven international data destruction techniques to eliminate
completely old data on a disk drive. This utility, which sold as a
standalone product for $49.99, is now included in Acronis Privacy
Expert Suite 7.0 at no extra charge. Acronis Privacy Expert Suite
carries a suggested list price of just $39.99.
"Users are not only privacy-conscious today,
they are also value-conscious," said Max Tsypliaev, president of
Acronis. "They know there are competitive products that claim to
provide privacy, but require that the user buy many separate
modules to get that confidentiality. That drives the price of
privacy out of reach of the average PC user.
"Today's launch reinforces our commitment to
providing corporate and individual users with best-of-breed privacy
utilities. Unlike security software, that physically protects
hardware, our privacy software safeguards the integrity of users'
information and maintains confidentiality," he said.
Acronis Privacy Expert Suite 7.0 has more than a
dozen new features. The software increases system performance and
protects the user from prying eyes. It works equally well in
protecting and keeping private user data and Internet activity and
provides a simple, one-button interface to clean the entire PC.
Acronis Privacy Expert Suite 7.0 runs on all
Windows-based operating systems from Windows 95 to XP Professional.
It is available now at retail stores, from computer resellers and
VARs, the Acronis Web site and from other online stores.
