Typically, data deleted on the computer is not truly deleted. The file stays on the disk until it is overwritten by another file. Until then, those files or file fragments can be recovered. If the data is sensitive, the recovered data could be exploited, causing damage much like a missed ember in a fire. When you delete your data, you want the data totally extinguished. What if you wanted to sell, donate, discard, or return your computer? You would need to make sure to eliminate your confidential information such as: - IDs and Passwords - Social security number - Financial Documents - Human resources data - Tax Records - Corporate Trade Secrets - Bank account information - Customer databases - Credit card numbers - And more... DISKExtinguisher is based on our unique BIOS (Basic Input Output System) technology, which is fast and reliable for accessing disks.
