Remove files from your hard drive without fear that they can be recovered.
There are quite a few software tools today for retrieval of deleted files under
Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as "file recovery" software, are
taking advantage of shortcoming of Windows "delete" command that we all use
regularly to delete files. Actually, the "delete" operation in Windows only
removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy
to retrieve those files using aforementioned specialised file recovery
software.
In order to remove, or shred files permanently from your system you have to
use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with random series of
binary data multiple times. This process is often called
shredding. That way, the actual content of the file has been
overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a shredded file are mostly
theoretical.
File Shredder has been developed as fast, safe and reliable
tool to shred company files. In File Shredder you can choose between 5
different shredding algorithms, each one gradually stronger than the previous
one. It also has integrated Disk Wiper which uses shredding algorithm to wipe
unused disk space.
