Bellevue,
WA, November 17, 2003-Detto Technologies,
the premier provider of migration technology
for consumers and small business, and
well-known for its award-winning PC-to-PC
and PC-to-Mac migration products, today
announced the immediate availability of
the IntelliMover®
PC Replacement Suite™, designed to
help users move to a new PC, backup their
new PC, and cleanup their old PC. The
suite includes IntelliMover, Detto's award
winning PC migration product, and two
new Detto products, PrivacyExpert™
for PC cleanup, and BackTrak™ for
backing up a PC.
With
over 70% of new PCs in North America being
replacement PCs, the migration process
is not just about migrating data and settings
from an old PC to a new PC. It's also
about ensuring the old PC can be disposed
of or given away, as many are today, with
no fear of loss of confidential information.
Furthermore, it's about securing the data
on the new PC in event of data loss.
Erasing
critical data from the old PC such as
bank account information, old settings
and preferences is critical before disposal.
Most users do not know how to securely
wipe data from their PCs, making them
susceptible to identity theft or the loss
of confidential information by anyone
getting their PC.
"Detto
recently conducted a survey of its customers
and found that almost 50% of users were
recycling their PCs or giving them away,"
said Larry Mana'o, CEO of Detto Technologies.
We've found from these users that replacing
a PC is a dilemma. The IntelliMover PC
Replacement Suite solves their fears of
how to move, clean and backup their data.
Our OEM partners have embraced this new
solution, and see it as a vital step in
removing consumers' fears of moving to
a new PC."
About
PrivacyExpert
PrivacyExpert™ is a PC cleanup tool
that lets users wipe their personal information
from their PC, and is the ideal for when
users plan to recycle or giveaway their
old PC. PrivacyExpert lets users erase
information like financial records, documents,
spreadsheets, and credit card info from
their PC; securely removes "deleted
files" from their PC and cleans the
user's internet identity by removing the
internet sites visited as well as usernames,
passwords, account names, etc.
About BackTrak
BackTrak™ is a backup tool that lets
users backup and protect critical data
so they can easily retrieve it in the
case of a PC failure or virus attack.
BackTrak allows users to: backup data
to "safe locations" such as
removable media like Zip, USB, JAZ, CD-RW
and even networked drives; back up data
on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
basis; and select multiple copies of a
file to be backed up, allowing for selectable
recovery.
