Mireth Technology adds CDRW shredding to ShredIt X -- Version 5.5 released

Mireth Technology Corp. announced today a new release of ShredIt X, its computer privacy software. ShredIt X version 5.5 for Mac OS X is available as a software download or on CD-ROM, starting at $19.95 (US).

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) July 30, 2004 -- Mireth Technology Corp. has released version 5.5 of ShredIt X, its computer privacy software that shreds instead of deletes data so it can't be recovered. Version 5.5 adds CDRW shredding.

As new medias evolve, so does ShredIt

With this new version, ShredIt X now shreds CDRWs in addition to shredding files, folders, disk free space, hard drives and external hard drives. I was shipping a business card layout to the printer using a used CDRW when I realized that I had no idea whether the previous data on the CDRW was confidential and was it recoverable, said Donna Johnson, President of Mireth Technology. We'd either have to restrict CDRW use to strictly in-house, restrict CDRW use to non-confidential data, or find a way to shred CDRWs before they were re-used. Our solution was to add CDRW shredding to ShredIt X."

The need for ShredIt

Because throwing data in the computer trash does not remove the file contents from the hard drive, the data can be recovered by someone else. Users who need to dispose of confidential data on an ongoing basis appreciate how easy ShredIt is to use - just drag the file on to the ShredIt icon and ShredIt will securely delete the data so it cant be recovered. Users who want to erase the contents of a hard drive before disposing of a computer can be confident that using ShredIt as directed will accomplish the job. And theres a ShredIt version for every Macintosh and every Windows computer.

Pricing and Availability

ShredIt X for Mac OS X is available for immediate download, or on CD, starting at $19.95. Registered users of previous versions of ShredIt X can upgrade for free. Educational pricing and volume discounts are available. ShredIt is also available for Mac OS7, OS8, OS9 and for Windows. For more information, visit www.mireth.com/shredit.html
