 Definitely October 23, 2008
This product will definitely clean your system. If you utilize the government clean erase, which is the equivalent of the government's process of erasing data off their computers, it will take 6-8 hours. I utilized this option, started the gov. clean erase before I went to bed, the next morning the process was complete. When you reinstall your operating system back to its original configuration from your restore CDs, make sure that you take out any hardware (memory pci's or pci-e cards) which you have installed (not a part of the original desk top) out of your box. I forgot this and so I kept getting blue screens, error messages, and basically a dead computer when trying to restore my Windows system. I freaked thinking SecurErase destroyed my computer. But I took the hardware out, through back in the installation disks, recovered my system, rebooted my system, powered down, then reinstalled my extra memory and pci-e cards, fired it back up and my computer is back online. If you want to make sure that your system is back to it's `original' operating system, this is the way to go.
 Could not run program September 2, 2008
Could not get this program to run and I'm not sure what the problem was. The disk would show the first screen but I could never get the program to load or run. The PDF manual is very poor and does not have any troubleshooting info and the company does not offer telephone support for this product. I tried an email and did not get a response. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but since there was no help available, it was quite frustrating.
If you are tech savvy this may be a fine program for you but I finally gave up after trying to get it to run several times.
Would have been nice if they included a floppy April 11, 2008
It would have been nice if they included a floppy. I wasted 40 dollars on
this because I came to the part where they said I needed a floppy and
didn't have one. And didn't have time to go out and buy one. Putting a
floppy in the package would have cost them all of 25 cents.
Good Software but could be difficult for some December 28, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great software. But, if you are using a USB CD/DVD player/writer then you will have to make a bootable disk (i.e. floppy disk) with the program on it and run it from there. It will not run from USB driven devices. Since I have floppys disks and drives, I didn't have a problem with it. It will also not erase USB driven drives. So, if you have a USB drive, you will have to remove the drive out of the enclosure, and install it into your computer (or you can use ESATA or a hotswap bay if you happen to have them). Then you can erase.
 Bad Instructions November 24, 2007
I'd say this product was bad for a non-techie user. There were no instructions and, even though there was a graphic that showed my computer was "clean," I never was totally sure that it had done what I wanted it to. I'm assuming it did and I gave away my PC but I'm still not 100% comfortable.
