Soft4Boost Utility for Secure Erasing Files and Folders

Soft4Boost Ltd., a group of like-minded programmers from different countries recently released a wizard-style utility that provides an easier way for PC users to remove files and folders without ability to undelete and restore them.

The new software application is known as Secure Eraser and is available as a free download.

To remove data completely it is not enough to remove it through the Windows Explorer to the Recycle Bin (Basket) or to the Recycle Bin and after then empty it. Besides, even after HDD formatting, it is possible to restore data partially or completely.

Therefore old HDD or other storage device which user has sold or gave to another person, can quite become object of interest for a certain circle of people.

Information restoration can cost expensively enough and can take away a lot of time but when it is a question of really important information, money and time are fading into the background. Restoration programs (undelete) are based on this file removal mechanism, they can recover file system record about file existence. There are either positive or negative sides of it. Data restoration from the broken HDD brings pleasure when this information comes back. But when the file which you have removed, gets into foreign hands it is a big problem.

To be sure that nobody can restore your files and get access to the private information which you wish to be destroyed forever, Soft4Boost Secure Eraser is useful.

The application can perform the following functions:

• Delete Files from Windows Explorer: The utility can be launched directly from Windows Explorer which makes it convenient to find the file you want to delete safety. When you locate the file in Windows Explorer you right click on it and then choose ‘Send To’ from the menu and then click Secure Eraser.
• Support overwriting standards: such as VSITR, DoD 5220 22-M, HMG IS5, Gutmann method and others.

The interface is available in languages which include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Danish and Hungarian.
