iolo's popular product DriveScrubber® 3 permanently and securely wipes away data from drives, to prevent confidential information from falling into the wrong hands when selling or donating a computer. In addition to thoroughly erasing all drive contents, DriveScrubber 3 can now also wipe only the free space of a drive, to delete the remnants of deleted files. With this process, existing files, programs, and the operating system are all left in intact, but any deleted files are unrecoverable. In addition to preparing a computer for sale or donation, this feature allows DriveScrubber to be used for regular security maintenance. iolo's CEO, Noah Rowles, had this to say about the new release: "I am very excited about the new version 7 of our flagship System Mechanic line. It is a culmination of years of research, customer feedback, and our industry experience. The System Mechanic development team at iolo strongly believes in this product and what we feel is a revolutionary approach to computer optimization, maintenance, and security. Since inception, System Mechanic has established itself as the leader in quality, innovation, and progressive design. This new version takes a significant step forward in many ways, and I am confident our customers will appreciate the diligent effort we've made to make System Mechanic even better than ever."


System Mechanic 7 and System Mechanic 7 Professional support Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Me, and 98. System Mechanic 7 retails for $49.95 ($29.95 for upgrades) and System Mechanic 7 Professional retails for $69.95 ($39.95 for upgrades). Both products can be used on up to 3 PCs.
