File Shredder 2000 is a small file utility that will completely erase the contents of sensitive files and folders that you specify. Normal file deletion only removes a file's directory entry, but leaves the data contained in the file on your disk drive. File Shredder completely overwrites the contents of a file and then deletes it.
Download security software: File Shredder 2000 4.1
Developer: Gregory Braun
You can also shred files by right-clicking on them from the MS Windows Explorer and selecting the Send To item on the popup context menu.
File Shredder has two file wiping methods available, a standard two-pass file clearing procedure and an NSA approved seven-pass file erasure method. For normal file deletion operations the two-pass method should be sufficient, but if you want to thoroughly erase a file's contents before deleting it the NSA approved method may be used |
