File Shredding Software...Easy Shred File Shredder

Why would anybody want to use a file shredder to get rid of files? Using some sort of Shredding Software is vitally important when it comes to privacy issues and protecting private or confidential information on a Windows PC. It is a well known fact that using the trashcan to delete files and folders does not actually remove them, instead only the reference to the file is removed and the space which those files take up is allocated as free space (and can be written over). Unfortunately until the data is actually written over it is easy for those files to be recovered, hence the need for file shredding software. I tested several free file shredders before writing my own because of a simple problem, over half the free shredders I used could have the files recovered using freely available file recovery tools, I'd like shredding software to actually shred! I really hope that my software achieves thin and in the tests I did I was more than happy with the file shredding results.

The Easy Shred shredding software works by encrypting and then overwriting files with garbage several times before deleting them. This should be more than enough to stop the file contents from being put back together by the average file recovery program (even if it is recovered it will be garbage) whilst still being fast enough to not slow your computer down.

Some of Easy Shred's main features include:-

Drag and drop shredding of files and folders
Explorer shell integration to allow right click shredding
Fast 3 stage shredding
Free software
Please Note That Easy Shred Does NOT Work Well With Windows 7
