AUTOWIPE Overview

AUTOWIPE is a program designated for real and final deleting of files in Windows'95 & DOS. Working imperceptibly the user and software it automatically rewrites several times physical space of deleted file by random information, that guarantees impossibility of deleted files recovery by malefactor or hacker.

Why is it necessary to use AUTOWIPE program? If you delete some file in Windows'95, ar first it is saved in "Basket" or "Trash" folder. When you clear a basket, it is deleted forever, as it seems. But actually there is another thing! The deleting of files in Windows'95 & DOS does not erase information containing in deleted file, but only marks this place as empty one!

You may know, that the programs exist, which can restore files, deleted in usual way, and so your information can be stolen! But it won't be possible, if you use AUTOWIPE! AUTOWIPE monitors behind deleting files and rewrites them several times by random information. Thus not only file is deleted, but all information, which was contained in it.

Instructions for using Autowipe are very simple. It is background program, which automatically wipes each deleted file without your intervention. When you perform deleting some file(s), Autowipe rewrites this file several times by random info and actually deletes it.

The unique property of AUTOWIPE is file wiping imperceptible for user and software. Contrary to other programs, using AUTOWIPE you do not care from where and what files need to be deleted. Besides that, many programs create temporary files during user's working, which usually contain information, operated by user in the current moment, and "delete" them at program exit . For other "File Annihilation Programs", these "deleted" files are already unavailable, though they can contain confidential information! But AUTOWIPE will delete such files, because AUTOWIPE works at a level of a Windows & DOS file system and knows about each deleted file!
