Terminus - download current version. Data Recovery, hard drive, tracing

Terminus is a high-performance, Government-grade file and directory destroyer. Terminus is fast, efficient, thorough, and easy to use. And when we say 'thorough' we mean it. Capable of meeting or EASILY exceeding DoD 5220-22 M specifications for file deletion, your sensitive data can be consigned to digital oblivion to a whole new level. (Oh yeah, 'fast, ' 'efficient, ' and 'easy to use' are all abundant as well.) So thorough is Terminus that NO trace of a target file can be recovered. In fact, with the change of a single option, you can delete a file to such a level that not even extravagant means of data recovery such as tunneling electron microscopy or magnetic field residue tracing will yield any useful data.
Terminus also deals with free space on fixed or removable drives with Terminus DriveWiper. Although it takes a while to process larger amounts of free space on hard drives (we recommend running DriveWiper overnight), the result is worth it: NO TRACES OF DATA IN UNALLOCATED SPACE! Great for eliminating fragments of previously deleted files. And its complement, SlackWiper, takes care of data fragments lurking in the slack space, that space between the end of a file and the end of the last cluster of drive space the file uses.
Terminus can adapt to suit your environment, with switchable context menus for right-click simplicity, a Desktop icon for drag-and-drop destruction of files or entire directories, password protection to help prevent unauthorized use, the Recycle Bin Monitor to get the files that get tossed into the Recycle Bin, and Send To capability for another avenue to right-click things into digital oblivion. All of Terminus' extensive options can be controlled from the Options Control Panel wizard.
Terminus includes potent utilities for finding files to delete as well as general file management. PowerFind hunts down data to destroy on any drive or network location you have permissions to. Terminus Explorer mimics a basic Windows? Explorer? file and directory browser but adds quick and easy access to Terminus when you need it. AutoProcess makes routine sensitive data removal in known locations on drives a no-brainer with automatic processing by filename matching, which is great for emptying browser caches and temp directories. Coupling AutoProcess with Terminus' command-line/batchfile operation support makes automation of these tasks a simple operation.
Terminus is tested safe for FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS disk formats, so you can use it in Windows? 95, 98, NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 environments without worry. (NT/2000 users as well as folks on a network will find that they must have the appropriate permissions/ownerships specific to the files/directories to destroy in order to do so. Therefore, Administrators can designate exactly what the other users can and cannot destroy.) Terminus can destroy compressed files and directories on NTFS partitions as well.
Terminus is the last word in sensitive data disposal. Leave No Traces.
