The best file eraser.
21-Jan-2008 12:53:34 AM
Reviewer: Zane77
Pros: Deleting files in windows doesn't really remove the files. It just removes the reference to the files, which means a data recovery program can still restore the deleted files.
When you right click on the recycle bin and select empty the recycle bin. Eraser overwrites the contents of the recycle bin, to completely obliterate any data that was there. Once you use Eraser on a file you can be assured that it is really erased, and not just deleted.

Reviewer: AdelheidBernstein
Pros: This latest version adds a feature I wished they had for 5.7 - secure file mover! The addition of the swift "first / last 2k" and "Schneier 7 pass" is also nice. The free space cleaner scheduler is also a little easier to set up.
