Hi [FIRST.NAME],
Welcome to the August iolo affiliate newsletter. In the
last edition of the affiliate newsletter we
presented you with a key resource to help you market
both System Mechanic and System Mechanic Pro; product
screenshots.
In this edition of the newsletter we're going to
introduce you to one of iolo's lesser known titles;
DriveScrubber® 3. Here's a question that you should have
your customers think on [and maybe yourself too]; Are
you giving away sensitive data when you sell or discard
your PC?
Did you know that 74% of discarded PC hard drives
contain private data that can be easily read and
recovered... even if the drive has been reformatted!
Scary stuff...
iolo's
DriveScrubber® 3 does the following:
-
Permanently erases files, pictures, documents, credit card
info, bank statements, passwords and more.
-
Securely wipes all drive data before selling, donating or
recycling a PC.
-
Restores a drive to like-new after virus or spyware
damage.
-
Wipes PC drives, flash drives, cameras and more.
To learn more about
DriveScrubber® 3 via a brief Q&A, please scroll down the
page and check out; "Deleting
files the secure way".

First off though, to help you with your promotion for
DriveScrubber® 3 we're offering your customers a

Deleting files the secure way
Why isn’t just deleting a file enough?
Many believe that when a file is deleted, it is
permanently erased. In actuality, the data within the
file still remains on the drive; this is because of how
the Windows operating system saves and deletes files.
-
When you save a file, your PC stores the name of the file in
a file allocation table. The data that actually makes up the
file is saved directly on the computer’s drive.
-
When you delete a file, your PC removes the file reference
from the file allocation table, but the data still remains
on the drive. The space occupied by that data is marked as
free space and is available for overwriting by other newly
saved files. But until another file’s data is saved over it,
the deleted data remains.
Even though you can’t see the file, someone using easily
available software tools can recover the file and view
its contents. To securely erase files so that they can
never be recovered, a data wiping tool should be used.
Doesn’t formatting a drive erase data?
Formatting a drive does not erase data. Formatting erases
file allocation information and performs other
housekeeping functions for data storage, but the process
does not erase or wipe data.
How does secure data wiping work?
Data wiping tools work by overwriting deleted data with
random characters.
Each overwrite pass causes the data that previously
occupied the location to become less “bright” than the
random data that now rests on top of it. As you increase
the number of overwrite passes, the less chance there is
that the data is recoverable. Some advanced methods can
read up to seven layers down, which is why the U.S.
Department of Defense standard is seven overwrite
passes.
The DriveScrubber approach
DriveScrubber® gives you the flexibility of tailoring the
patterns used in the overwrite passes and lets you
select the number of passes—you can choose the
Department of Defense standard of seven overwrite passes
or, for the utmost in security, overwrite data up to
100 times. DriveScrubber also has a range of
flexible, advanced options that allow you to pause,
cancel, and resume a wipe in progress, create log files,
run a final wipe of all zeroes and more.
Further, DriveScrubber offers dual protection for
permanent data removal: you can completely wipe all the
contents from a drive or device OR you can erase just
the remnants of previously deleted files. Both options
meet or exceed the standards of the U.S. Department of
Defense.
-
DriveScrubber can wipe the entire drive to completely erase
all data. People find this useful if they want a “like new”
drive after virus damage or if they are giving away their
computer or device and want absolutely no data to remain.
-
DriveScrubber can wipe only the free space to thoroughly
erase the remnants and tracks left by deleted files.
Existing files, programs and the operating system are all
left in intact. People find this useful for regular computer
maintenance and security.
