Press Release Summary: SecureDelete® 2.0 in Undelete 2009 ensures formerly deleted
files found on USB drives are rendered permanently unrecoverable.

Press Release Body: BURBANK, CA--(October 1, 2008) - Diskeeper Corporation today
announced that its newly released Undelete® 2009 data protection software now
includes an electronic data shredding feature called SecureDelete® 2.0. This ensures
formerly deleted files found on USB drives are rendered permanently unrecoverable,
ensuring your information does not fall into the wrong hands when being passed from
person to person.
"SecureDelete 2.0 is very useful for managing USB drives," notes Dr. Nitin
Paranjape, Microsoft Office System MVP. "These may contain deleted versions of
sensitive customer data. And you may end up revealing this data to an unrelated
party during file sharing with the same USB. This scenario requires SecureDelete.
The best practice is... when deleting information from USBs, always use
SecureDelete."
Few realize it, but deleting files on a normal basis doesn't actually erase the
data; it merely removes the pointer to that data on the disk thus allowing it to be
overwritten. Behind the scenes, that data is still intact -- leaving otherwise
sensitive corporate information vulnerable to viewing.
With new SecureDelete 2.0 (enabled by default in Undelete 2009), files that are
secure deleted are immediately purged from the recovery bin and then overwritten
using sophisticated bit patterns governed by the National Security Agency/Department
of Defense. This renders the formerly accessible data gone -- forever.
But what of those files that have been "deleted" earlier in time and now reside in
remnants across the drive's free space? SecureDelete 2.0 now has a Wipe Free Space
feature that securely deletes all such free space and renders its file remnants
equally unrecoverable.
So before you make that decision to repurpose, recycle or dispose of a USB drive --
ensure you have Undelete 2009 installed. And take full advantage of its SecureDelete
2.0 feature, including Wipe Free Space. Only then can your sensitive data truly be
secure from entering into the wrong hands.
Additional Functionality:
On top of the product's SecureDelete 2.0 functionality, Undelete 2009 is a full
blown data recovery application capable of salvaging all accidentally or maliciously
deleted data on Windows systems (unless of course rendered unrecoverable by
SecureDelete 2.0!).
Undelete 2009 Key Features:
-- SecureDelete 2.0, an electronic data shredder, ensuring confidential
files and file remnants are permanently erased and unrecoverable from USB
devices and hard drives. Includes Wipe Free Space.
-- Recovery Bin captures all deleted files (except those SecureDeleted).
