Erase data and files from your drive using Freeraser

April 3, 2009 in Security | Permalink

When we want to delete information from our computer, we drag files to the Recycle Bin (Trashcan). In the future, we'll empty the trash and realise that the file has disappeared from our computer. This is ideal if you share your computer with other users and want to hide files you've downloaded from, say, your kids. Or is it? Not at all. The files you place in your trash are kept on your drive, even though you can't see or access them. Any basic file recovery application will locate and salvage the deleted files.

Freeraser 1.0.0.22 is a free secure version of your normal Recycle bin that includes an icon within your System Tray. When you want to delete some important files or data, simply click the icon, a bin will appear and you drag them across as normal. The application will completely and securely erase the data from your computer.
