If you are security conscious and want to make sure that files you delete stay deleted and cannot be found again Hardwipe is for you.. This can give you piece of mind if you are selling or throwing out an old computer, meaning no one can search and old drive for personal data or files.

There are three main functions in Hardwipe. You can wipe specific files, wipe a whole drive, or clean your free hard drive space. You can choose high or low priority, which will use more or less system resources, and choose which type of data wiping you want. The selection of data wiping algorithms is pretty much the same you'll see in any app like this. You can perform a simple data-randomizing wipe all the way up to a 35-pass deletion, which is extremely secure.

Hardwipe does what it claims, and is easy to use. If your PC is shared and the normal log in has Administrator rights, be aware that Hardwipe can do some major damage if used maliciously or carelessly. We'd recommend only installing Hardwipe on an account that requires and Administrator log in! This secure data deletion program is not a cleaning app - for basic PC spring cleaning we'd recommend CCleaner.

USB sticks are pretty much ubiquitous, and there have been many examples of people losing them and releasing sensitive data. USB Flash Security creates a password protected USB drive that will help keep you data safe.

USB Flash Security is a Japanese developed product, and it suffers from weird translations in places which is unnerving! However, USB Flash Security is not that hard to use once you've untangled the instructions. It is installed on your PC, and when you run it you can protect whichever attached drive you wish. Once protected, wherever you use the USB stick, you'll have to use a password to get in.

It's very effective, but does have some annoying side effects. First is that installation wipes your disk, meaning you have to back it up first. The second is that the security program only runs on PCs - so if you have it installed you won't be able to access that data on other operating systems.

USB Flash Security also requires administrative rights to run, which can mean some annoying user changes every time you want to open it.

USB Flash Security is probably more complicated than need be, but it will make your data safe from casual theft.

Be warned: when you use the computer or browse the web, you're leaving behind traces of all you movements that can be easily tracked like breadcrumbs.

Luckily there's a way to avoid these clues: use Wipe and you'll be able to delete all those traces from your system in a very efficient way. What's more, Wipe includes support for the standard DoD 5220.22 algorithm, which renders deleted files unrecoverable.

When launched, Wipe performs a system scan in order to detect all the apps installed on your computer. After that, Wipe displays a list of all the supported programs and the items you can delete from them.

The list includes common software like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, WinRAR, QuickTime and Outlook Express, and deletes usual items like cookies, history of usage, recent document lists and auto-complete entries, among others. Wipe doesn't show the actual elements you're about to erase though, nor does it let you filter them in any way – which would have been useful in the case of cookies, because you may not want to delete all of them.

Wipe can erase the whole list with a simple click on the "Delete" button, but you can also erase only specific items by right-clicking on them. When finished, the program shows the number of deleted files and the amount of recovered space. The whole process hardly takes a couple of minutes and also generates a log in case you want to see extended details about the deletion process.

With Wipe you can rest assured that your deleted files won't be recovered.

Name, size, contents of erased file or folder can never be recovered, by any software or hardware means. Why just deleting is not enough? When you delete a file or a folder in WindowsTM it is not actually erased.

Simply, the hard disk descriptor table is updated and the file entry is removed. So, the actual bytes of the file remain on the disk. Even when the file area is overwritten, it is still possibile to recover data, by applying certain laboratory procedures since it's rare that a portion of the hard disk is rewritten more than 5/10 times.

It has been calculated that information is completely unrecoverable only after more than 30 rewrites. How can NShred effectively destroy any data?

NShred detects the file area on the hard disk or other drive. This area includes metadata on file, such as name and date. The area is then rewritten 'n' times depending on the procedure.

For instance, with DOD algorithm, the file area is rewritten first with 0 bit, then with 1 bit, then with a random byte. After rewriting, the file area is reduced to zero, the file renamed with random characters and finally deleted.

This procedure guarantees that not even a single byte from the former file can ever be retrieved. Why NShred is different from other shredding tools?

While the majority of shredding tools are brute force and operating system agnostic erasing tools, NShred behaves accordingly to the underlying Operating System (OS), denying the user the possibility to turn it unstable.

For instance, if the OS denies a delete operation, NShred will NOT erase the file. The user will be able to erase it later when it is no more locked by the OS.

Plus, NShred is a. NET Framework Smart Client application, which ensure the user with a superior robustness and full compatibility and integration with the latest Microsoft Operating Systems and tools.

NShred features: * Destroy data on any Windows OS that supports. NET Framework * From Simple 1 step - zerofill erasing, to complex Gutmann wipe * Easy to use: hides complexity * Complete shell integration: drag'n'drop and shell context menus * FAT, VFAT, NTFS filesystems supported * Fully shreds unused disk space * Enhanced logging * Operating System wise operations (does NOT destroy locked files) * Command line version for batch operations * Wipe recycle bins * Wipe temporary Internet Explorer data files
