The hard disk on your PC contains confidential data that, in the wrong hands, is a treasure trove.

Before you sell a PC, return a leased one or dispose of an old one (which may go abroad for recycling), take the sensible precaution of securely wiping the hard disk so that nobody can recover its data. Formatting or erasing disks is not enough: there are several utilities (including some from Acronis) that will recover lost or deleted data. The only secure answer is software which actively destroys data.

Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0 easily and securely wipes hard disks to the highest data destruction standards, actively overwriting the entire disk. Data can not be recovered from a disk that has been wiped in this way.

Please note: this software is delivered by download - you will receive download locations and installation keys by e-mail after Acronis have accepted the order.
