FreeSecuritySoft.net File Eraser

The FreeSecuritySoft.net File Eraser application was designed to be an advanced security tool, which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard disk by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns.

Normally, when you delete a file, the operating system does not actually erase the file; it only removes the reference of the file from the file system table and marks the area occupied by the file unused. Therefore anyone can recover the file using any disk maintenance utility capable of reading the disk directly. The data will not be destroyed until a program writes over the deleted file, and even after that it may be possible to recover some or all of the data by studying the disk with specialized equipment.

To some people this is enough, but if you want to ensure that your confidential data will not end up in wrong hands, you should properly overwrite a file before removing its reference from the file system table.

As simple as it sounds, there are several problems in secure file removal, mostly caused by the construction of a hard disk and the use of data encoding. These problems have been taken into consideration when File Eraser was designed and because this intuitive design you can safely and easily erase private data from your disk.
