CyberScrub Privacy Suite Professional 4.5

CyberScrub Privacy Suite Professional

A good product

by: ct716 on 29-Feb-2008 02:56:34 PM

Pros: This application does what it says. Lets face it magnetic media cannot be completely cleaned but this will ensure the guy at the local PC repair shop won't be able to view your internet tracks. It's got plenty of options, cleans lots of third party applications and support is excellent. I firmly believe those who say it does not clean just have not set it properly.

Cons: Wiping can be slow but it is thorough. Can be slow in updating third party cleaning definitions if the applications are upgraded between releases of CyberScrub.

CyberScrub Privacy Suite Professional

Erases your free space

by: skandaless on 22-Jun-2007 12:25:30 AM

Cons: The files you 'delete' may be gone, at least they didn't show up after a file recover scan with pc tools file recover (trialware) but the HD space they consumed is not retrieved. I didn't want re-install my pc (did that not to long ago) to regain lost space so i had to totally fill my HD space, forcing windows to clean up old files and gained back about 15Gb of so called scrubbed files.

Wasted $50 on this program.

Gulfstream Wrong- We have tested with Encase Forensic Software

Pros: This appears to be just another example of "anyone can post anything". This guy probably did not scramble file names. If that is the case, deleted file names may be seen but not recovered. Trust me (or try for yourself), files deleted with Privacy Suite are gone beyond recovery. Hey- Take a minute and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

great product, draconian license

by: jeff1381 on 26-Jun-2007 06:52:10 AM

Pros: Wipes the ***** of my drive. I have a heavy-duty recovery program and it can't undo PS's work.

Cons: I installed it on my workstation, but then I moved to Linux. Now my license is node-locked a box that isn't even running Windows, so I'm hosed.

CyberScrub Privacy Suite Professional

"Technical support" non-existent - all sales FINAL (NO refunds)

by: Pete Yevchak on 12-May-2008 11:01:41 AM

Pros: Automation of cleaning tasks is good and seems effective

Cons: Based mainly on recommendations by a certain individual on this site, I purchased a copy of CyberScrub Privacy Suite.

Even though I purchased it over a week ago, I have not yet been able to successfully register the program (I'm on Day 12 of the 15-day trial now, according to the main program interface when I open it). Even though each time I go through these steps, it tells me that it's been "successful" in registering the program.

I've "activated" it both over the Internet from the computer that it's on and "Manually" - multiple times. With all my defensive programs turned off - or turned on - the result is the same.

I've sent three support tickets to the maker - none of which have been responded to as of this morning.

I'm at the point now where I don't really care how good the program is or is not - their technical support sucks.

If this doesn't get resolved by the time the program expires, I'll post screenshots of everything I'm talking about (including my "support" tickets). Pete
