Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This utility proves to be one of the most powerful and flexible among erasers and privacy protectors. It has a handy interface: you can irrecoverably delete files using the right-click Explorer menu or by dragging them to the program window. Privacy Guard enables you to clean traces left in Windows (recently opened files, Run history), your browser (cache, cookies), and various applications such as ICQ and Windows Media Player.The most remarkable feature is that you can fully control which files and Registry keys are erased, as well as add your own items for deletion. CyberScrub uses several erasing methods, including quick wiping, NAVSO, DoD, and Gutmann, so you can find the balance between speed and security. The program also lets you create your own methods. You can define the number of cleaning passes and, for each pass, any overwriting pattern (byte or text, fixed or random); this is a rare capability for this class of software.
What's more, it's possible to shuffle the order of passes and verify the data has really been deleted. Happily, CyberScrub now offers a built-in scheduler so you can run time-consuming tasks when you're away from your computer. You can lock the program with a password so nobody can occasionally damage your files beyond recovery. CyberScrub is designed for professional use.

Version: CyberScrub Privacy Suite 5.0
"not able to update even with valid licence.zero support"
Pros: deletes almost all you would want, if a bit slow.
Cons: no customer support, send out auto reply that e-mail no longer available due to excessive spam. do not do anything with tickets sent to support on site.
Summary: good to use, but has some issues. mainly inability to update even after purchasing 2 year licence extention. zero support. waste of money. would be good if there was support to fix issues.

Version: CyberScrub Privacy Suite 5.0
"Great product! Great protection!! Peace of mind!!!"
Pros: I have been using this product for about 7 years. It has been enhanced greatly and protects my systems and does what it is supposed to do all the time. It protects my machine from cookies, internet traces, allows me to wipe free space and much more
Cons: Does not provide phone support. It is understandable as for running a business it becomes difficult to put someone on the phone, Emails support is great.
Summary: In today?s world it is important to understand that how our privacy should be protected. Simple Delete will not delete the data, your browsing activities are always recorded, it will hunt you down. It's better to use prevention then cure.
