It is amazing how many people think that when they delete a file, it is safely removed from their computer forever. This is completely untrue. When you delete a file on your computer or even empty your Windows recycle bin all that you’re actually doing is the labeling the space on your hard drive where that file was placed. Why is this important to know? Because anyone with third party data recovery software and access to your computer can very easily scan your hard drive and see all of your deleted files. If the only things of importance those files contain are the records from last year’s fantasy football league it is not a problem. But, if your computer is used for business and holds sensitive financial records or perhaps even personal medical records you need to be certain that when you delete a file it is gone and stays gone. To do this you need a data eraser. Currently the best data eraser on the market is Disk Doctors File Shredder. This software to permanently erase data from your hard drive or any other digital storage is so effective and powerful that it meets the standards of the United States department of defense. Obviously if the program is good enough to erase U.S. top secrets, then it is strong enough and safe enough to safeguard your personal files.
