Editor's review

It is a general misconception that when you are deleting the files and folders from your local hard drive you tend to assume that those files are deleted permanently. Well as a matter of fact you will be surprise to know that every single item that you think is deleted is actually not. They are depicted by the OS as they are removed and your drive is ready to take in more files as space is emptied by it, while using a recovery tool you can extract those deleted files. In reality unless you do not bring in new files and unless these new files over write the previous deleted file those deleted files will always be there in the memory location of the drives. This feature in fact makes it very unsafe for highly confidential matters to fall in bad hands even if you Shift-delete them. Bearing the same ASCOMP has created Secure Eraser 4.2 to help you out from this glitch.

The Secure Eraser 4.2 makes use of the highly sophisticated data disposal techniques and overwrites all the confidential information of the deleted data permanently. The utility deletes the data to such levels that even the most high tech data recovery application will not get any clue to bring back the data. It also eliminates the cross references of the data which might help software to trace the removed files making it impossible for anybody to retrieve them. In fact the utility overwrite the data to a maximum limit of 35, which is extra ordinary. Hence you need not harbor slightest of the doubt that your data will ever be retrieved from the local drive or any part of your PC in case you use this application.

Secure Eraser 4.2 is a handy utility for official usage and even for many government offices. It used standard techniques of data removal and for all its benefits we give it 3 on five. And yes it’s free to use!

Publisher's description

Because it's been erased 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.

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.
