This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Do not buy. You will not get support! Emailing the company is a waste of time. Much better options out there now...e.g.Mireth techs "ShredItX"which will give NSA and DOD standard wiping or even Apple's built in Disc Utility which in Tiger can write over a disc up to 32 times...slow but effective! ~Don't waste your money...
Bad bad bad!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. What I thought was going to be something really great and useable. Was I wrong... I have had so many problems with this app. as well as Audio scrubber . Installed this. Crashed the computer when opening the app. K, panic. Restarted, Again K Panic... Great now have to boot in safe mode! I think that if you really want to securly delete your files. Buy PGP... It will also secure them as well! The dev. is totally a unhelpful! Totally ! What a waste, I am glad that some users have had good exp. with this. I sure have not and the dev. did nothing to help me out ... Would not even respond to my emails! I would advise to not even try it. But otheres here seem to have good success so , I guess use at your own risk! I bought it and for the money, it is just a big joke! To bad the Dev, IS SO HARD TO CONTACT. Maybe just my luck! But still I paid I would like support! I mean is it so hard to help people who pay for your program! I give this 2 thumbs down... Give it a try people. Maybe it is just my exp. but find a demo first before you spend your money!
Wheeee - another byte bites the dust: It . . . Just...

.... . . Works . . . This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I have used multiple methods for wiping hard disks across multiple platforms (usually Apple or Windows flavored) over the past 11 years, including built-in Apple solutions, third-party solutions, and alternative solutions such as STRUT and .44Magnum before it became fashionable to consider data security outside of a few in corporate IT circles (or cubicles). If you don't want to reuse the hard drive, destroy it - with STRUT's wonderful process out of action for the time being thanks to Oregon's alleged budget woes, we developed our own .44Magnum solution from something we rednecks took for granted - target practice. This solution costs the Client about a dollar (for the shell), and takes less than a minute, including time for preparation, safety measures, thorough site cleanup, recycling, and giving thanks to the drive's contribution on behalf of the Client. If you wish to reuse the hard drive, SuperScrubber, yes, does duplicate Apple's *free* solution in some respects. However, depending upon our or our Client's needs, we sure like the "knobs and levels" we can tweak with on SuperScrubber. For the Client who has peer-to-peer phreaking phears, we suggest Russian with our own random twist and pick up a Sunnyside Up coffee in the morning after. For the in-house gee-can-I-do-something-better-than-common-zeroing-but-get-it-done-today, we slip on our own configuration. The Rover hard drive etween Clients? Ewww - NUCLEAR TRINITY wipe till next week. I also like being able to wipe a partition as well as a device (not currently easily performed on the "free" Mac OS 10.3.6) While it's pretty straightforward for this technophile, I appreciate Jiiva's care taken to remind the operator that scrubbing can be permanent. This "button-pusher" didn't spend much time with the documentation, although it wasn't intimidating to one of my Clients who is an avowed technophobe as I was doing my Scrubber demonstration. OK, sure, a bit of humor - that's who we are - I think I'll sign up as satisfied that SuperScrubber is a regular paid member of my toolbox team. I'll also be thankful of 30$ instead of someone else's 299$-special-today-online-259$. Thanks, Jiiva! C@ZD:30
Works for me!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I read the comments about this app and then did some research on disk security. It appears that most of the negative comments are coming from those who have not used this app or have no real security needs. My state, Minnesota, has certain regulations when cleaning machines and donating them to schools and such. This app was easy to use and let me configure the security I needed. Sorry nay-sayers, Apple's disk ulility is not configurable! A review last year in MacAddict about this app says peace of mind is worth the 30 bucks and I agree.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. about this product? I bought it because I was giving away a few G3s and it worked great. I like that it comes on a bootable CD since I don't have my own CD burner to make one. i wish it could just scrub empty space, but other than that it does exantly what I bought it for!

Selling or giving away a used Mac? Did you know that all the data stored on your Mac is recoverable even if you delete your files, drag them to the trash, or reformat your hard drive?

Identity and intellectual property thefts are on the rise and a used computer is a goldmine of information for a crook or a hacker.

Protect your data on your home and business computers. Protect your privacy. Before you give away a used computer, sell it on eBay, return it a the end of a lease, send it in for repairs, or assign it to another department, make sure you ERASE THE RISK WITH SUPERSCRUBBER.

SuperScrubber is distributed on a bootable CD containing Mac OS X, allowing you to scrub your entire hard drive without the hassle of external drives. SuperScrubber runs on any Mac capable of running Mac OS X (10.2.3) but OS X does NOT have to be installed on your computer.
