Simply deleting files, pictures, or documents – even reformatting the hard drive – isn’t enough. Anyone with basic computer knowledge can recover and steal the private information you thought was gone. U.S. Department of Defense standards for secure data deletion require seven overwrites of the target drive space; DriveScrubber lets you overwrite up to one hundred times, so even the most sophisticated recovery and forensic methods can’t recover your data. DriveScrubber also lets you wipe only free drive space, keeping the operating system intact. Use it to keep personal information out of the wrong hands, or even to clean up after a stubborn virus or spyware attack. | | | Features: | |
• Customizable Tools DriveScrubber has adjustable security levels for drive-wiping procedures, from the fast, efficient one-pass method to ultra-secure electron microscopy and magnetic field residue detection shields.
• Maintain Ongoing Protection In addition to wiping all data from any drive, DriveScrubber can be used to maintain an ultra-secure computing environment by regularly wiping only deleted data, keeping existing the files, programs, and operating system intact.
• Wipe Any Drive, Format, or File System Runs on any PC from a CD-ROM, no installation required.
• Maximum Speed Competing products may take hours or even days to clean drives. DriveScrubber uses the fastest, most optimized methods, while maintaining its proven security strength.
• Any number of attached drives can be batch-wiped in one complete, unattended process, and all wiping procedures can be paused, cancelled, and resumed.

Will not scrub System Drive - marginal service.Apr 09, 2010
By Kersi Von Zerububbel
"Kersi"
I am getting rid of my Pentium Desktop that has Windows XP. Drivescrubber worked fine for over-writing DELETED areas and FREE SPACE on my C: drive. It also worked fine on my D: drive which was a partition of C:. But when I used the option to delete and overwrite my System files things hit the fan. I was supposed to get a DOS prompt giving me options etc. Instead the thing got stuck with the DOS screen showing a message, "Loading .......". Well, just for kicks and being that it was DOS I allowed it to go on for 10 hours! Nothing happened. One of Iolo's "Help" screens said to check the Bios and ensure that the slot with the reboot disk was the first one to reboot. I did this and it was the first drive to reboot. Sent emails to the help desk. I heard from them after 24 hours telling me to "check your BIOS for the boot drive". Something I had already done. Tried to call - got nowhere but reminded me of Al Bundy on hold trying to get parts for his Dodge. Checked out all their online Knowledge base. Found nothing that would help. Finally doing a search on Google I found folks with the same complaint.
If you need a scrubber for your deleted areas this product will work fine. But if you need to clean out your ENTIRE C: drive before donating or selling your Desktop beware. Finally this morning, I decided that I had wasted enough time trying to get this thing to work so I removed my hard drive and now I have a paper weight. I am going to take the rest of my Desktop to a recycling center. I paid $19.95 for this product plus hours wasted. Live and learn.

Crazy shredded my PCJun 06, 2010
By Wounded Knee Very happy with this product. Had an old Dell (with Windows 2000) that I wanted to recycle, but it several years' worth of 1040 forms on it that I wanted to wipe. Great thing about this tool is that were several options to run the app; my CD drives weren't working properly, and I had no internet connection anymore on the machine, but I was easily able to set-up and run Drive Scrubber in MS-DOS. It took roughly 20 hours for the app to overwrite each sector of the machine seven times, but it did a great job -- computer was totally clean when I rebooted after completion. My Drive Scrubber box also had a $10 mail-in rebate sticker on it, so I'm giving four stars until I'm sure that's processed. ;-)

DID WHAT I WANTED IT TO DO -- ERASE DATAMay 18, 2009
By M. Ortega
"lifes2short"
Even on a computer that had gotten slow as molasses, it did a great job! I just put the CD in and it took over. It was easy to use. You don't need to connect your mouse. You will be using your keyboard keys to select actions.

Horrible Product and Customer ServiceOct 23, 2011
By Customer Review I have repeatedly "tried" to use this product so I could donate a work computer to a school. Multiple telephone calls and e-mails to Iolo Technologies resulted in more wasted time with the same result. I was not able to use this product at all or donate my computer. This product, and the customer service from Iolo Technologies, is guaranteed to waste your time. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I have never been so frustrated by software and the lack of customer service in trying to resolve what should be an easy fix. Unreal...

Note: REQUIRES INTERNETMay 23, 2010
By A. Peterson Just to let you all know, this product REQUIRES INTERNET ACCESS! I have a desktop and I don't have internet at my house, so I could not use this item. I bought software to clear my computer because I didn't have internet where I could find something to download to do the same thing. It doesn't say in the description that it requires internet. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.
