What is Secure Eraser?
Because it's been deleted from your hard drive, doesn't mean it's gone forever. As long as the information was not overwritten, anyone can restore it at any time. It gets even more complicated, if a computer has been resold or given away.
Secure Eraser uses the most renowned method of data disposal and overwrites sensitive information in such a sure way that it can never be retrieved - even with specialized software. Our multiple award-winning solutions for definitively destroying data also eliminate any cross-references that could leave traces of deleted files in the allocation table of your hard drive.
This easy-to-use Windows software will overwrite sensitive data even up to 35 times - regardless of whether they are files, folders, drives, recycle bin or traces of surfing. You can also delete files that have already been deleted, but this time for good.
Secure Eraser not only overwrites using random data, it offers the approved US Dod 5220.22-ME and U.S. DoD 5220.22-MECE standards from the US Department of Defense, the German industrial standard and the Peter Gutmann standard. All deletions are logged in details upon request.
Comments and Reviews
Secure Eraser is a nice piece of software. As a data erasing utility it is free for personal use although at the end of each operation there is a pop-up window that reminds you that you can purchase a license and make the add go away. The free-ware version is appealing, well organized, intuitive and loaded with features. From shredding files to wiping a hard disk, there are customizations for each operation. I would highly recommend this app and would even consider purchasing a license. The license is affordable and permanent, something that isn’t too common now days...
