What's the point of encryption if your original documents still reside, unencrypted, on your hard drive, where any snoop can grab them? Deleting a file via the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS) doesn't actually remove the contents of the file from the disk; Mac OS and Windows just report the file as free space. Many sensitive files are reported as deleted; your word processor saves temporary files to disk and then "deletes" them when you close the document. The sensitive contents of these files are available to anyone with a low-level disk utility. The Kremlin Sentry automates the process of securing your computer. You can schedule the Kremlin Sentry to run when you shut down your computer or when your computer is idle. The Kremlin Sentry then secures unused portions of your hard drive, where "deleted" word processing files often reside, and wipes all memory (including the swap file), overwriting operating system records of passwords and other sensitive information. The Kremlin Sentry can also clear all records of the most recently accessed documents or all previously visited Internet world wide web sites. You can specify directories to automatically encrypt when you shut down your computer and decrypt when you start your computer back up. If snoops go poking around without the password, they will see incomprehensible gibberish, not your secret documents.
