This software securely shreds sensitive files and permanently deletes them, preventing any possibility of recovery. It also offers a disk free space shredder to destroy previously deleted files on the hard drive, and can shred files, folders, recycle bin, and locked files while conforming to DoD standards.
This software review focuses on a program that is designed to help users securely delete sensitive files from their computer.
When you delete a file from Windows, it is not completely removed from your hard disk. Instead, it is just marked as deleted in the file allocation table, which means the actual data is still there and can be recovered with data recovery or forensic software. Even formatting your hard disk does not provide full protection for your sensitive files. That's where this software comes in.
The program offers a powerful way to shred important files and folders so that they cannot be restored. It uses methods that exceed the US Department of Defence standards for file deletion (DOD 5220.22) and provides users with the ability to purge, wipe, and erase data with carefully selected patterns.
One of the key features is the ability to automate the cleaning process with batch files, shortcuts, and a scheduler. This means that users can easily set up the program to run automatically at specific times, making it easier to keep their files secure.
The software can completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. It can overwrite all bits in selected files, including cluster slack space, with binary 1's, 0's, and / or random bit patterns. It also supports complete folder deletions, including subfolders. Additionally, it can shred disk free space, making it possible to destroy previously deleted files on your hard drive.
Users can easily drag and drop files or entire folders into the software or delete files even if they are locked. There are no trails left of any compromising or confidential information. Users can easily choose the number of overwrites according to their security ambitions, and the higher the number, the less probable it is for the finest magnetic tracks to be detected.
Finally, the Department of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M) recommends seven passes for top security. This software makes it easy for users to meet that standard. Users can also shred files by right-clicking on them from the MS Windows Explorer or on the recycle bin and selecting the shred item on the popup context menu.
In conclusion, this software is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to keep their sensitive files secure. It provides users with multiple options for securely deleting files and folders, and offers a level of security that exceeds Department of Defense standards. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to use, even for those who are not tech-savvy, and its automation features make it easy to keep your files secure without having to manually run the program.
