Data Destroyer 1.5
Microsoft Windows stores information about the programs you use, the documents and pictures you view, including many other things. Each application you use generates its own history data, access logs, temporary data files, and each file contains time and date stamps. To ensure corporate and personal data security, this information, along with any Recycle Bin activity, all of which constitutes an electronic data trail, should be securely deleted so to avoid corporate or personal information leakage. But deleting files with Windows merely removes the file system's pointer to the file, all the data remains on your hard drive or floppy disk. The remaining data can be easily recovered with data recovery or forensic software. Your sensitive files may also be vulnerable to advanced recovery techniques, even when overwritten, by analyzing latent magnetic traces. Data Destroyer is an utility that securely removes the data content from hard drives or partitions in a manner than cannot be undone. It provides secure deletion of data from magnetic and solid-state memory. You can securely delete files, folders, evidence of Internet activity and other sensitive data.
