Editor's review
When it comes to protecting your privacy, you can hardly be too cautious. Imagine a scenario where you have deleted a confidential report from a shared folder in office and somehow copies of the data are still circulating. Well it is quite possible due to availability of recovery tools that can get back the deleted data without much ado. The basic problem lies with how the operating system performs the delete action. Instead of physical removing the file from its storage location, the OS typically marks the area as free and removes the file from the index. For an average user, the file is as good as gone but for a hacker it leaves the door open for accessing private information. Now you can get around the issue by using a file wiper tool like Secure File Shredder 11.04.01 application which assuredly eliminates the physical data.
On launch the Secure File Shredder 11.04.01 application showcases a neat interface that is quite easy to understand. To completely get rid of files, just load the same in the application, select a shredding technique from the drop down list and then click on Shred. The application offers several algorithms for shredding that you can choose from based on your need. If the data is critical, you should opt for techniques that make the maximum number of random writes. You can directly add files from the recycle bin using the relevant option in the application. The tool can also be used to clean up unused data from your system. You can even schedule shredding tasks that can target data stored in specific folders at regular intervals.
In light of its capacity to assuredly wipe out the targeted data through multiple random writes, we mark the Secure File Shredder 11.04.01 application with a score of four rating stars.
