File Shredder 2


Completely delete files from your computer. more>>

File Shredder 2 is an effective program which is designed to securely shred files and folders on computer.

Files deleted with File Shredder can not be retrieved back. File Shredder supports multiple shredding algorithms up to 7 passes, US government compliant DoD 5220-22.M, Guttman method, shell integration on right click in Windows, Disk Wiper to shred unused free space.

With File Shredder you can remove files from your hard drive without fear they could be recovered. There are quite a few software tools today for retrieval of deleted files under Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as "file recovery" software, are taking advantage of shortcoming of WIndows "delete" command that all are used regularly to delete files. Actually, the "delete" operation in Windows only removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy to retrieve those files using aforementioned specialized file recovery software.

Major Features:

  1. Add File(s) - Click to add files ready to be shredded. A file picker will appear. Select one or more files and press open. The files will appear in main pane. You can add as manu files as you want. Note that adding the files into shredding queue does not delete them and you can remove the files from queue latter
  2. Add Folder(s) - Click to add folders ready to be shredded. A folder picker will appear. Select a folder and press open. The folder will appear in main pane. You can add as manu folders as you want but you have to add them one by one. The whole folder structure is added including files and subfolders.
  3. Remove Selected - Click to remove a file(s) or folder(s) from the shredding queue. Don't confuse this option with Shred Files Now, this option only removes files that are intended for shredding from the queue and no changes are made to the actual files or folders on hard drive.
  4. Remove All - Click to remove all file(s) or folder(s) from the shredding queue. This option does the same as Remove Selected but it will clean the complete queue. No changes to files and folders on hard drive will occur.
  5. Shred Free Disk Space - This option will shred unused or free disk space across the whole disk volume. For instance, this option is very useful if you haven't shred your unwanted files regularly but instead you used regular windows delete command and now you want your previously deleted files unretrievable. Those files now can not be shredded by picking them since they are already deleted. This option will enforce shredding of everything you have deleted once using the regular delete command, whether it was yesterday or months ago.
  6. Shred Free Disk Space - After you picked the files ready to be shredded click on this button to execute permanent removal of files. Warning: this option can not be undone, make sure you haven't picked non intended files accidentally.

File Shredder - remove files from your hard drive without fear they could be recovered. more>>
File Shredder - remove files from your hard drive without fear they could be recovered. File Shredder is a simple tool designed to help you remove files from your hard drive without fear they could be recovered. There are quite a few software tools today for retrieval of deleted files under Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as "file recovery" software, are taking advantage of shortcoming of WIndows "delete" command that we all use regularly to delete files. Actually, the "delete" operation in Windows only removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy to retrieve those files using aforementioned specialized file recovery software.
In order to remove, or shred files permanently from your system you have to use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with random series of binary data multiple times. This process is often called shredding. That way, the actual content of the file has been overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a shredded file are mostly theoretical.
File Shredder has been developed as fast, safe and reliable tool to shred company files. The author of this program released it free under GNU licence and you are welcome to download File Shredder and use it without any restrictions. File Shredder is simple but powerful program that surpasses manu commercial file shredders out there. The Author believes that such a utility should be available to anyone for free and that permanent and safe removal of confidential documents is a matter of basic right to privacy.
In File Shredder you can choose between 5 different shredding algorithms, each one gradually stronger than the previous one. It also has integrated Disk Wiper which uses shredding algorithm to wipe unused disk space.

Simple File Shredder 3.2

Simple File Shredder 3.2


Securely delete your private files more>> Simple File Shredder is a utility that securely deletes your files so they cant be restored using recovery software.
SFS ensures your privacy by:
-Scrambling the file name
-Over-writing the file up to 25 times with random bytes
-Change the file date/time to a random date/time value
-Verify the file has been completely shredded before deleting it
A good use for Simple File Shredder would be to securely delete electronic financial statements, private e-mail, porn, etc.
Why do you need Simple File Shredder?
When you delete a file using the conventional Windows Delete method, the file is not destroyed. Windows simply acknowledges the file is no longer needed and considers it free space. The file will exist in a recoverable state until its over-written with other data. When you use Simple File Shredder to delete (shred) a file, it gives the file a meaningless name and ?e-writes?the file with random data. If the file was ever restored using recovery software, it would be worthless.

Alternate File Shredder 1.100

Alternate File Shredder 1.100


Allows you to finally delete files and/or folders (no recovery possible) more>>
Allows you to finally delete files and/or folders (no recovery possible) Alternate File Shredder is an application that allows you to finally delete files and/or folders (no recovery possible).
The program also can overwrite the free space on a drive, which means, that already deleted files cannot be restored, too.
Alternate File Shredder allows you to delete files and/or folders finally, which means they cannot be restored by recovery software. This is realized in that way, that before the file is deleted, its content will be overwritten with a random content or zero-values several times. The result of this is, that recovery software may restore the file with its size, but the content is changed - so the file gets useless.
Maybe you already deleted some files, which you better like to be shred. Here the program offers the possiblity to shred the free disk space of a drive. This is realized by writing data into the whole free disk space and delete it afterwards. This is necessary to make sure, that all existing file fragments are overwritten.
Main features:
- Delete files
First you have to select the files you want to delete (shred). You can either do this by the buttons "Add" and "Add folder" or via the edit-menu. If you add a folder, its content is scanned and all contained files and subfolder-files are added to the file list. Use the "Remove" and "Clear" button if added some wrong files. Files can also be excluded from the deletion progress by removing the small hook in front of their names.
- Shred free disk space
Before using this option (which may take several hours on large disks), close all other running programs which might write towards the desired drive. Save all your open files before!
The filelist content is not relevant for this option. Select "Shred free space" and another window opens. Here you can select the desired drive(s). Make sure, that your USB-Sticks or disks are inserted before. If you choos "OK", the process will be started.
Options
- "Random data writing" - If checked, the data of the files is overwritten with a random structure, otherwise using zero-values. A random data structure is saver to avoid sucessful data recovery.
- "Confirm delete" - if checked, the program will ask you before a file gets deleted (recommended!)
- "Number of iterations" - sets the number of iterations the data is overwritten, more iterations are safer, less are faster (3 is recommended - 30 is very secure, but you still can select more iterations)
- "Ignore write protection" - if selected, the write protection of files is ignored (if you want to delete a complete folder or the content of a drive, this is recommended)

Easy Shred File Shredder 1.00

Easy Shred File Shredder 1.00


Easy Shred removes your files by overwriting them, permanent file shredding. more>> Easy Shred is probably one of the smallest and most efficient programs available for shredding files on your PC. As most people know using the trash can to "trash" a file only removes its reference and it is very easy for the file to be recovered. There are many free deleted file recovery tools available. On the other hand Easy Shred uses a negative algorithm to overwrite your files and folders multiple times. The end result of this is a file that is extremely difficult / costly to have recovered and for all but the most determined of people permanently removed. Whilst some programs can identify the names of shredded files Ive yet to find a program that could successfully recover the file data. Shredding can be initiated by either dragging or dropping your files / folders over the Easy Shred desktop icon or by right clicking on any files or folders you want shredding and using the Easy Shred option.<<less
