SOFTWARE
Everybody knows that dragging a file to the recycle bin and clicking Empty doesn't really erase it from your computer's hard drive. Years later, traces of trashed files still lurk there. That goes double for floppy disks, which frequently float from business to business.
SecureClean from AccessData makes sure the deleted data on your PC stays deleted. The program scours your hard drive and floppies, erasing blocks that no longer belong to files, sweeping away space beyond the end of disk files, and cleansing deleted filenames from directories.
SecureClean took 40 minutes to clean a hard drive that held 4 Gbytes - reasonably fast for this kind of work. (The demo will perform five cleanings free of charge.) And if you're into military-grade security, you can specify multiple data overwrites, so that not even the National Security Agency can Retrieve your data.
SecureClean for Windows: free download; $49.95 for full version. AccessData: www.accessdata.com.
