File Sanitizer is therefore not a replacement for simple file deletion; it is instead meant to complement it. Free Space Bleaching can also be set up to bleach the hard drive at a predetermined schedule.

W ith Privacy Manager you can be sure that only those friends, clients or colleagues you select will be able to open and read a given document, email or instant message.
