ParetoLogic Privacy Controls Safeguards

Our program was designed with numerous options and features and it provides you with the best safeguards available to prevent any critical files from being erased from your system. You can use ParetoLogic Privacy Controls on your computer and never have to worry or be concerned that any files or data will be removed that is required to run your system or any of your applications. We have three types of safeguards built into our program that will stop this from ever occurring. These safeguards will only appear when you have selected items to be shred in the Advance Shred tool in ParetoLogic Privacy Controls. 

1 - ParetoLogic Privacy Controls Confirmation Message

The first built in safeguard is a Confirmation Message that you will see when you select an item to be shred using the Advanced Shred option in ParetoLogic Privacy Controls. This type of safeguard looks like this:

This particular type of safeguard can be easily disabled by placing a check in the box next to Do not display this message again located on the bottom of the Confirmation Message. It is not advised that you do this, as it is better to verify all of the items you have selected to be shred before you actually erase them.

Note: Caution should be used every time you erase files using ParetoLogic Privacy Controls because once you have shred data it cannot be recovered.

Above is the Advance Shred window that is used for these types of shredding. You can learn about using the Advance Shred option in the Help files or by reading this:

2 - ParetoLogic Privacy Controls Pre-defined Settings

The second type of safeguard provided with our program is Pre-defined Settings that you use with the Scan & Erase window to set up your system scan. ParetoLogic Privacy Controls only scans the items that you have chosen to be included and only these found items can be erased from your system. If there is a particular item or category that you do not want to be part of the scan then you have the option to not include it in the scan. These settings are made in the Scan Options window shown here:

You can learn how to do this and see more information about setting these safeguards in the Scan Options section in the Help files or by reading this:

3 – ParetoLogic Privacy Controls Confirmation Dialogs

The third and final safeguard built in our program is the Confirmation Dialog, which will prevent any critical files that are needed for the functioning of your system from being removed. If you try to shred any crucial item you will be presented with a Confirmation Dialog that you must verify before these items will be shred. It is a safeguard that cannot be disabled as the Confirmation Message detailed above can be.

The items that will prompt one of these to appear are very critical system items such as Windows system files or any folders and files that are found on or under the Windows folder. You will have to verify you want to permanently erase them from your system before you can proceed with the shred. You will see the following Confirmation Dialog box appear any time you are about to erase critical files:

Only after you are sure these files are not needed are you advised to confirm this type of shred. You will have to type, “YES” in the box provided, click OK, and then click Shred in the Advanced Shred window to complete the process.
