Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Unlike other safety suites, Steganos Security Suite 2006 does not contain antiviral, antispam, or antispyware tools. Rather, it gives you numerous tools for securing the data on your hard drive and wiping out data. You can encrypt an entire 256GB drive and render it invisible. The Shredder module uses several secure algorithms to destroy data, while The Internet Trace Destructor removes the recent browser history, desktop traces, and usage history from many third-party applications. We particularly like the ability to quickly burn encrypted files onto a CD or a DVD, as well as the excellent e-mail encryption tools. The AntiTheft can help assist you in locating your laptop should someone pilfer it. Right-clicking the suite's system-tray icon lets you load any of the program's dozen modules without loading the entire suite. The password manager tracks and encrypts passwords and can automatically enter passwords on Web sites. Any user concerned with privacy should strongly consider adding this versatile, feature-packed application to his or her security toolkit.Publisher's description
