The internet-related functions in Steganos 4: these include easy to use e-mail encryption and the Internet Trace Destructor. With a mouse-click, the Trace Destructor eliminates the evidence left on the user's PC from surfing the internet, such as the log of sites visited (history) and the cache. New: create now encrypted E-Mail-attachments out of your sensitive data: the recipient requires no special software to decrypt it.

Another component of the Steganos Security Suite 4 is the Safe, a virtual encrypted drive. A new drive X: is created in the user's computer: everything stored there is automatically encrypted when the Safe is closed. Thanks to on-the-fly-encryption, 1 GB data is encrypted in less than a second. The integrated Automatic Crash Protection assures that no data is left unencrypted in case of power failure or abnormal system shutdown.

Can you remember all your online passwords, ATM PIN codes, etc.? The Password Manager offers a solution to this dilemma: with a single password you can protect all the others in a simple list. Ordinarily, when you delete a file, it isn't really gone, not even when you empty the Recycle Bin. To permanently erase a highly sensitive document, only the Shredder can do the job properly. On request, it is available with technology developed by the US military.

Finally, you can lock your computer to prevent inquisitive colleagues from viewing your private or confidential information. Correspondents may decode encrypted files and e-mail without purchasing Steganos - these functions are available without restriction in the free evaluation version.
