Delete, Erase and Remove Chat and IM (Instant Messages)

Chat and instant messaging programs, such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Chat, AIM, ICQ and others provide a convenient method of communication. However, for many users, their sensitive conversations, exchanged files, call history, contacts and other data remain, in whole or in part, on their computer hard drive. In most instances this represents an unacceptable security risk. While these chat programs usually provide options to clean their respective tracks, they are almost never so configured by default. To enhance your security, you must first be aware of these threats, then take the actions required to close or limit these vulnerabilities. From a practical perspective, this creates an undue burden that is not, or cannot be met and maintained.

CyberScrub Privacy Suite software provides simple options to erase chat and IM conversations and user history beyond recovery. This program will erase, delete and remove this sensitive chat information with methods that exceed US Department of Defense standards (DoD 5220.22). Increasingly, instant messages and chat are becoming valued targets of e-discovery requests and forensic examinations. It is important to establish clear data retention policies to erase and delete chat and instant messages, just as would be applied to email and other documents.

CyberScrub Privacy Suite offers a cost effective solution to ensure that you will be able to erase, delete and remove chat and instant messenger conversations.
