Editor's review
Hard drive data sanitization software is used to permanently erase your confidential data documents, temporary Internet files, cookies, history etc. Data remover software safely wipes unused disk space and critical records from storage media device.
Pros: This utility cleans up data from disks. Once cleaned there is no way to recover the data. The problem arises as when Windows system deletes a file by merely marking it as deleted, the actual data remains until a particular sector gets used to write data from another file. It suits the common usage but is a security risk. So means must be provided to actually erase the data out of the drives. There are two ways this is done by this application. Overall operational speed of the machine improves. In one mode files/folders are rewritten with system generated junk data so that original data is wiped clean permanently. Other method is to clean out data in a given range of sectors on the drive. This can actually wipe out data from different files, which may reside in neighboring sectors of the drive. Wiping clean of Internet history also is possible by cleaning up internet files, cookies, cache, typed URLs, auto fill and critical records from storage media. Evidence eliminator permanently removes your confidential files and folders, used or unused space, recently opened URLs and secret information from your computer or laptop. Hard drives data wiper software has the ability to clean application files such as Microsoft access, PowerPoint, word, windows media player, WordPad management console, system registry from storage media device. Once data that has been cleaned, it cannot be recovered by ant data recovery software. It is compatible with all versions of windows operating system including Vista. One can specify a list of files to be cleaned up periodically and schedule can be set to get that done automatically. Hot key can be selected.
Cons: For truly secure work one should actually try recovery of data in various scenarios to ensure that the process is really strong.
Overall an easy to operate program, rated at 3 stars.
