Anti Recovery

Anti Recovery is a useful and accessible piece of software whose main function resides in offering you a reliable method of permanently deleting files from your computer, in order to ensure that no unwanted individuals will be able to retrieve them from your trash.

The application features a wizard style appearance, guiding you step by step through the entire operation, so even if your knowledge in the field is limited, you can still get the most out of the deletion process.

Anti Recovery consists of just four simple steps that you have to go through, enabling you to complete a whole deletion task in just minutes.

For starters, you need to add the files or folders you want to destroy, by individually selecting the targeted items from a tree view structure. A popup window will ask you to confirm your actions before proceeding onto the next step.

Afterward, you can choose the deletion algorithm, with several different options to pick from, for instance ‘’British HMG IS5’, ‘US Air Force 5020’, ‘Russian GOST’, ‘US Army’, ‘German VISITR’, ‘Bruce Schneier’ or ‘Peter Gutmann’, ranging from as little as 1 pass to 35 passes; however, the more passes an algorithm features, the longer it will take to complete the task.

In the third step of the wizard, a progress bar informs you of the completion level of the operation, displaying the status of each file following the shredding (successful or not). Finally, when done, you can even save the results to a HTML file, should you need the report for later.

In conclusion, Anti Recovery is a handy and reliable program that can successfully assist you in shredding important or sensitive documents from your PC, helping you keep the privacy of your personal information even if other people should try to retrieve them.
