Remove private data forever!
Have you ever wished you could delete a file or folder forever? If that’s what you’ve wished you could do, then your wish has now came true. A lot of us seem to have files or folders that we would hate to be recovered using various recovery tools that are widely available, this is because it’s private and confidential data, or you just don’t want people snooping on what you’ve been looking at, reading etc.
Now there’s an application that will stop you worrying. This application will remove the file or folder and overwrite the data up to 35 times! This makes it impossible to recover since the data has been overwritten and it no longer exists anywhere. Of course, you’re probably thinking that nothing is impossible, well that’s true, but it won’t be an easy task if they are to recover anything after it has been overwritten that many times. It will be even harder if you’ve done this and you’re using your PC most of the time.
The application I’m talking about, is called Eraser. Not many people seem to know about this very useful application, that’s possibly because of all the commercial applications available that do a similar job apart from they charge you for just half of what this free application can do.
Here’s what the developers say about Eraser:
