File Monster description
Completely erase files from your computer so the information is unrecoverable

File Monster completely erases files from your system -- actually overwriting the information in the file so it can not be recovered.

The reason information is still available when you delete files with normal deletion methods is because normal deletion methods only tell the operating system to not recognize the file as being present anymore, yet the information hasn't really been erased.

As a result, any computer user with a little knowledge can easily recover the information you thought was erased using normal methods.


To take your privacy a step further, File Monster also overwrites the original file name with a randomly generated name and it changes the file's creation date. It can even erase pesky hidden files, system files, and read-only files.

Don't leave sensitive data on your computer: deleted files are the first place many computer savvy people will look when they are trying to discover sensitive information on your computer. Some important questions you have to consider:

1. Is there information on your computer that you don't want just anyone to have access to?
2. When you leave your office at night, just who has access to your computer?
3. Do you trust that neighbor that comes over to your house to use (or fix) your computer? How about your roommate?
4. Do you trust the people you give your computer to when something needs installed or fixed?

Now maybe these people will just snoop around -- or maybe they'll take the information they collect for their own use, or they'll use the information they find against you!

To take your privacy a step further, File Monster not only erases all the data in that file so that it cannot be recovered, it also overwrites the original file name with a randomly generated name and it changes the file's creation date.

If you have files on your system that are confidential (or just plain personal) and you do not want to leave to chance that someone can easily recover the information in them after you have "deleted" them, then File Monster will be an essential tool!
