4 Running Active@ KillDisk for Windows

After you purchase Active@ KillDisk, you will receive an installation file named KILLDISK-SETUP.EXE. This file contains everything you need to get started.

To install the application, double-click KILLDISK-SETUP.EXE and follow instructions on the installation wizard.

The installed application contains two main applications:

• Active@ KillDisk for Windows—Run this application from your Windows operating system to scan local drives.
• Active@ Boot Disk Creator—Create a bootable CD/DVD or USB device and run Active@ KillDisk for Windows from the device. Using Active@ KillDisk this way allows you to wipe confidential data from the system cache and you can gain exclusive use of a partition because the operating system runs outside the partition that you are securing.
