Spyware, hackers, worms and viruses ensure that online security makes all the headlines, but these aren't the only potential dangers that you need to consider. Your valuable files may still be open to anyone with physical access to your system, for instance. And if you send confidential information by email, then you're relying entirely on the recipient to keep it safe.

Steganos Security Suite has been designed to protect you from these threats with its combination of powerful privacy functions. These start with the Steganos Safe, a virtual encrypted drive that the program adds to Windows Explorer. You can treat the drive just like any other, install applications to it, drag and drop files there, whatever you like. Except when you've finished, this drive can be closed, at which point all trace of its contents will disappear. And only someone with the appropriate password can retrieve them.

The Steganos File Manager takes an alternative approach, embedding selected files or folders in real BMP, WAV or JPG files. This is ideal for emailing data because snoopers who open them will see the original images, and there's no sign you're sending anything confidential at all. And yet, anyone with the password can also extract the encrypted files they contain.

Steganos Security Suite also includes a text email encryption system that works with just about any mail client. The Steganos Shredder securely wipes files so they can't be retrieved through an Undelete tool, while the Internet Trace Destructor erases your browser tracks (cache, history, cookies, more), and similar traces in Windows and other applications. Put them all together and your privacy is assured.


The latest Security Suite includes stronger 256 Bit encryption, anti-theft protection and a new antispyware module, which finds and removes around 100,000 malicious programs. And there are no more limits on Steganos Safes, as you can create as many as you like, of whatever size you need. They're more convenient to use, too, and may be opened with a USB stick or ActiveSync phone instead of a password.

As a registered owner of version 7 you'll get all this for only £24.95, saving £25 on the regular price. Simply head to www.steganos.com, add the Security Suite 2006 upgrade (£24.95) to your shopping basket. You'll need your Security Suite v7 serial code to proceed wit your upgrade.
