When you give away your hard drive or sell off your old computer, you are basically "licensing" the third party to access your old e-mail, private customer information, corporate secrets, and other sensitive data. Even if you have deleted all data from your computer's hard disk and reformatted the drive, with the proper recovery tools, someone could retrieve your previously deleted files and even gather your personal information from the disk space of your computer. If you want to completely destroy your sensitive data on the disk, without leaving a chance for someone to recover the data, use the AEVITA Erase Hard Drive utility. When you delete your data using AEVITA Erase Hard Drive, all traces of the data are removed from the disk so that the data cannot be retrieved even by using disk recovery software. Your private information will be 100% gone, and your data will be completely destroyed. AEVITA Erase Hard Drive uses the industry-accepted government and military strength algorithms to ensure complete data wiping and assure you of the utmost security of your sensitive, personal or confidential data. The program works with all standard hard drives and floppy disks and operates independently of the operating system or any data that may exist on the target disk. Best of all, it is quick, easy-to-use, and compatible with any PC independent of the operating system on the target disk. Once a disk has been erased with AEVITA Erase Hard Drive, no data recovery tools, regardless of their level of sophistication, will be able to recover any data that previously existed on the disk. Don't leave a chance for someone to recover your data - destroy your sensitive, personal or confidential data beyond recovery now! More info-AEVITA Software Ltd.

Data Shredder literally destroys files, free space and your Recycle Bin contents instead of only deleting them. That means your data contents once overwritten and destroyed It can't be recovered. The user therefore should be sure of the files, folders .etc. he/she wants to shred. There are many safeguards built into the Data Shredder program to warn the user. Windows allocates clusters for new files (and extending existing files) from one end of the disk and moving towards the other end. Accordingly, the user for example if deleting files near the end of the disk, it might be very long before those clusters get used again. Therefore, shredding a disk's free space ensures that any deleted data stored in unallocated clusters will be completely shredded, and all the bits and pieces of left over data from deleted files will be destroyed. Generally speaking Windows stores files using two steps: A directory entry and A series of one or more clusters on a disk. When the user deletes a file using windows the file's data doesn't actually get deleted from disk. Windows simply marks the file's clusters as available for reuse, then marks that file's directory entry as deleted (from the directories available) by replacing the first character of the file's name with a special character. Now if those clusters don't get reused for another file, they are vulnerable and can be retrieved by those who know where and how to look for it. Adding one byte to the directory that was deleted will allow the retrieve of the entire file that has been deleted. This is used in most of the "Unerase" utilities functions. Data Shredder makes it virtually impossible to retrieve data from a file because it literally overwrites the file's data clusters before deleting the file. A "quick" shred overwrites the file once, filling its data clusters with zeroes. A "Thorough" shred overwrites the file maximum 10 times, using varying bit patterns each time. More info-FILEJUNCTION
