What is Prevent Restore?

The software fills unused disk space with overwrite data, replacing remnants of previously deleted files and making recovery significantly more difficult.

Does Prevent Restore support SSDs and USB drives?

Yes. The software can wipe deleted file traces on SSDs, USB flash drives, memory sticks, and other removable storage devices.

What wiping methods are available?

Prevent Restore supports several secure overwrite algorithms, including DoD 5220.22 and Gutmann methods.
