With a large number of advanced features, Steganos Privacy Suite 2012, allows users to lock down confidential information into virtual safes, encrypt emails, manage and generate secure passwords; and erase movements from online activities, among its key features.

- Steganos Safe - Lock down confidential personal and business documents, videos or photography in fully secure virtual vaults on your PC
- Steganos Portable Safe - Create mobile data vaults on USB drives, CD, DVD or BlueRay discs, without the need to download or buy any further software

- Steganos Trace Destructor - Erase movements from online activities, deleting cookies, browsing histories and search lists
- E-mail Encryption - Transfer information securely and privately by encrypting sensitive emails which recipients need a password to decrypt
- Steganos PicPassTM- Gain access to Steganos data safes or Password Manager facility by selecting a series of images as a password
Steganos Privacy Suite 2012 is an ideal tool for anybody wishing to protect their identity online; secure their files; images and videos; manage their passwords; those who want to keep their online activities away from prying eyes; and wipe personal search data from the web. The features included are over and above the facilities included within standard antivirus or backup software, and protect data from a host of security vulnerabilities. These include unsecured wireless connections, computer theft or loss; and unauthorised access from hackers.
Easy, secure storage of personal data and files
Users who wish to store data securely can lock it down in virtual vaults courtesy of the Steganos SafeTM function included with this software. Users can create as many safes as required (each holding up to 1GB), so file management is easy. Plus, create a Steganos Portable Safe for use on USB drives, CD, DVD or BlueRay discs when data needs to be transported. Records of passwords and online account details can be managed and protected easily using the Steganos Password ManagerTM facility and the Steganos Password GeneratorTM can formulate strong passwords by defining priorities such as length and character type.
Internet privacy and securing sensitive information online
The Steganos Trace Destructor has been built into Steganos Privacy Suite 2012 to allow users to remove any trace of online activities. This includes cookie deletion, browsing history clearance; and search list records, protecting from third parties gathering personal information about web activities. The email encryption functionality included within the comprehensive suite of privacy tools allows users to securely email information only the recipient can unlock and decipher with a password.
Futher features of Steganos Privacy Suite 2012
Other useful benefits of Steganos Privacy Suite 2012 include features such as Auto-Form Fill Function, which automatically fills in personal information with just one click when online forms are presented; as well as being a convenient time saving tool, this provides protection from keylogger attacks. The Virtual Keyboard facility is another function which protects from keylogger attacks as it prevents keyboard strokes from being recorded; this is particularly useful when working on remote computers or when using untrusted networks.
Steganos Privacy Suite 2012 is available from £51.05 and is being distributed in the UK by Avanquest Software Publishing. It is available online at www.avanquest.co.uk and www.amazon.co.uk. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows® XP, Vista® and 7 operating systems.
