East-Tec Eraser 2007 protects you from Vista\'s Shadow Copies

May, 2007 - EAST Technologies has extended the data security and privacy protection
of East-Tec Eraser 2007 to cope with Windows Vista\'s new \"Previous Versions\" (also
known as \"Shadow Copies\") function. Vista lets you create and store shadow copies of
your files. Unlike other third-party file erasing programs that only remove the
original copies of your files, East-Tec Eraser 2007 gives you the option to also
erase your shadow copies.

Many Vista users are unaware of how the new operating system threatens their
privacy. As a default selection, the new shadow copies are automatically turned on
when Vista is installed. Without your knowledge or approval, your computer is
storing copies of your computer activities, as well as information about your
Internet surfing. Erasing this information doesn\'t ensure your privacy because the
shadow copies remain intact. East-Tec Eraser 2007, however, permanently removes both
the original and shadow copies, and protects your privacy. Used regularly, East-Tec
Eraser 2007 can prevent identity theft, as well as bring you peace of mind by
ensuring that your private information remains private.

New features in the latest release include support for dozens of popular
applications, including the communications and multimedia programs that you don\'t
want people to know about. East-Tec Eraser 2007 also lets you import and export
options, making it easier to configure the program on multiple computers. You can
opt to not show the files and folders being cleaned while the program is erasing
your files. There are also additional ways to protect specified folders from being
erased.

Without your knowledge, Windows stores revealing information about you in temporary
folders, Windows swap files, Internet history directories, cookies, and deleted
email messages. This information contains words and images that tell which web sites
you\'ve visited, which Instant Messaging conversations you\'ve held, which chatroom
conversations you\'ve participated in, and lots of other information that you may not
wish to become public. East-Tec Eraser 2007 finds this information, and destroys it.
The program meets or exceeds all U.S. Department of Defense standards for
permanently removing information from computers.

Different Internet browsers store private information in different places. East-Tec
Eraser 2007 works with all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, America Online, MSN Explorer, and Opera. It also works
with all of the popular peer-to-peer programs, including Kazaa, Kazaa Lite, iMesh,
Napster, Morpheus, Direct Connect, Limewire, and Shareaza. In addition, East-Tec
Eraser 2007 supports ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer,
Microsoft Office, Google Toolbar, and many other popular programs. The program knows
where your computer has stored sensitive information, and deletes it, permanently.

It\'s easy for inexperienced users to begin to benefit immediately from using
East-Tec Eraser 2007. The built-in Wizard walks you through the steps needed to
protect your privacy and sensitive information. You can schedule the program to run
at regular intervals, automatically securing your privacy. You can even drag and
drop files onto East-Tec Eraser 2007, and the program will permanently erase them so
that they can never be recovered. Critical folders (such as Windows or System32) are
protected by default, against accidental erasure.

Power users can employ command-line parameters to set the program\'s options,
integrate the program with Windows Explorer, and create user-defined erasure
methods. You can run the program in stealth mode, completely invisible to other
computer users. Set filters to prevent specific data from being erased. You can even
implement a password-protected system of permissions for each computer user.

Whether you\'re a business person who needs to ensure that colleagues and customers
cannot view sensitive information on your computer, a network administrator who
wants to prevent prying eyes from viewing financial, competitive, or other private
information on company machines, or a home user who wants to keep the kids from
snooping at their parents\' files, East-Tec Eraser 2007 has the tools that you need.

East-Tec Eraser 2007 runs under Windows Vista/XP/2003/2000/NT/Me/98, costs
$49.95(US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online at
www.east-tec.com.
