    File Shredder

    File Shredder

    File Shredder

    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 the retrieval of deleted files under Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as "file recovery" software, are taking advantage of shortcomings of the 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 the 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.

    Remo Drive Wipe

    Remo Drive Wipe

    Remo Software

    Drive wiping is beneficial for data privacy since most delete functions don't really delete your data. When a file or folder is selected for deletion, the operating system designates those sectors that your files reside in to be re-writeable. However, using data recovery software those deleted files can be easily restored. Even if you have saved new data to your drive or reformatted it, there’s still a possibility that the partition can be rebuilt and files can be restored. Due to these selling or disposing of a PC creates a serious threat. If you haven't properly erased the disk, others can reopen and rebuild your personal data. Hence, Remo Drive Wipe erases the drive data permanently such that no recovery software could ever retrieve your data. Moreover, the tool is available free of cost.

    CBL Data Shredder

    CBL Data Shredder

    CBL Data Recovery

    The CBL Data Shredder is intended to eliminate the chance that information stored on your hard drive may be retrieved by anyone when it, or the computer containing it, is disposed of. Our experience is that files thought to have been deleted years previously, containing personal details, bank account details, credit card numbers, correspondence, etc., can be recovered all too easily, and simply formatting the drive is not an effective means of rendering this data inaccessible. This situation is made worse by the availability of off-the-shelf products that will automate the recovery process in some cases. When used in accordance with the instructions in this guide, the CBL Data Shredder program will do what file deletion and partition formatting cannot: erase the entire contents of a treated hard drive, rendering them irretrievable to existing and future software-based recovery tools.
