Editorial Review of File Shredder

Delete a file and it's gone from your PC, right? Wrong.

Even when you delete it and then remove it from your Recycle Bin, it can be re-created, using special software.

To protect your privacy, when you delete a file, you'd like it to stay deleted. That's what this freebie does. It rewrites any file or folder with a random series of binary data --- and does it multiple times.

You have a choice of five different shredding algorithms. It's as easy a program to use as you can imagine. Just choose your files, tell the program to shred them, and they'll be gone forever.
