Erasing 'Shadow Copies' Created in Vista

Have you switched to the Microsoft Vista operating system yet? I did and days later went back to XP. Why?

I liked the customization features in Vista but there was a compatibility issue with some of the software programs running on my PC. I also learned that Vista automatically stores copies (called 'shadow copies') of all my computer activity. I was not able to remove these from my PC. I decided to wait for announcements of new software that could successfully run on Vista and also remove the shadow copies. EAST Technologies released their new Vista compatible East-Tec Eraser 2007 in May, 2007.

"Many Vista users are unaware of how the new operating system threatens their privacy. As a default selection, the new shadow copies are automatically turned on when Vista is installed. Without your knowledge or approval, your computer is storing copies of your computer activities, as well as information about your Internet surfing. Erasing this information doesn't ensure your privacy because the shadow copies remain intact. East-Tec Eraser 2007, however, permanently removes both the original and shadow copies, and protects your privacy. Used regularly, East-Tec Eraser 2007 can prevent identity theft, as well as bring you peace of mind by ensuring that your private information remains private." May 2007 EAST Technologies Press Room

East-Tec Eraser 2007, in my opinion, is an excellent privacy tool which is designed to destroy all evidence of online activity and destroy any data or files you want permanently removed from your PC. The thing that caught my attention is that East-Tec Eraser exceeds U.S. Department of Defense standards for the permanent erasure of digital information. Can't get much better than that…
