Growing privacy threats

More than 12 million American citizens are affected by identity fraud or other online privacy related crimes each year (according to Federal Trade Commission). Attacks are performed by keyloggers, trojans, phishing, pharming, redirectors and many other methods. The total economic costs are in the range of 57 bln. dollars with average damage per victim around 4,500 dollars. The protection usually includes antivirus programs, anti-spyware software, firewalls and many others. The common problem with all these solutions is that they are good only when dealing with already known threats (and that is only if they are updated very often). Your computer keeps extensive information about which websites you have visited, and what documents, pictures or video files you have opened. This means that virtually anyone that can acquire even low-security level access to your computer, can steal a lot of private information. Cleaning up the history of your activities completely and safely is impossible without specialized program because most of the tracks are not visible by any standard means and can not be removed manually. This process must be performed every time you use your computer. Mil Shield automates this process while giving you the opportunity to choose the types of tracks that you want to clean. Mil Shield can also run invisibly in the background and is able to clean the tracks whenever you want.

The program also helps to optimize Windows and the installed applications. It is well known fact that most Windows installations tend to run slower as time passes. One of the main reasons for such slowdowns are the temporary files, logs and registry keys, which are mostly useless but take valuable space and contribute to the fragmentation of your hard disk. Mil Shield cleans the old and unused files, folders and registry keys of Windows. The program also checks for and deletes the old files and keys of hundreds other applications and makes it possible to have your computer running faster and to avoid periodic Windows reinstallations due to system slowdown and instability.

Built-in scheduler and command-line cleaning. You can schedule Mil Shield to clean at specific time intervals or once a day at specific time of day. For more advanced users Mil Shield offers additional way to automate making of silent cleanups. You can use the command-line utility ShieldAgent.exe to schedule silent cleanups at arbitrary times using Windows Task Scheduler, other scheduling program or batch script. This is very useful when automatic backups are made; when many computers need to be cleaned from user tracks (for example in computer classrooms) or when there is a need to clean the user tracks on remote computer. Support for user accounts. On multi-user systems most of the tracks are user-specific. With Mil Shield you can choose the user accounts that will be cleaned.

The free space on your hard drives is securely wiped using one of the five user selectable methods, including 35-pass Gutmann algorithm.
