Ever find yourself with a few documents on your personal computer that you wish you didn’t have? Maybe they are embarrassing photos. Maybe it is a collection of poems you wrote while you were going through your “dark” phase in life. No matter what the reason is, I have the program that will do it for you. Destroy it all with the Chaos Shredder.
So why do you need the Chaos Shredder? Here is what the developers of the program answer that question:
Windows does not physically remove deleted files from your hard disk. Emptying your Recycle Bin does NOT protect you at all. Your sensitive files can be recovered, even after you format your hard disk! When you delete a file from Windows, Windows just mark the file as deleted in file allocation table, but the data of the file is still on your hard disk, there are many tools available which can let others easily recover your sensitive files even after you have formatted the hard disk.
Sensitive data can easily fall into the wrong hands. And because Windows is not capable of deleting information beyond recovery, you are at risk! Passwords, financial documents, even those “about last night” e-mails are fair game for the IT professionals, computer technicians or hackers. CHAOS Shredder allows you to purge, wipe and erase data with methods that far exceed US Department of Defense standards for file deletion (DOD 5220.22).
Now I don’t have any secret contacts in the government to see how well the destruction of files works, but it seems to do the job. You don’t have to worry about it taking up too much space, either. This powerful program doesn’t use too much space.
So do you find yourself with a few documents you’d like to put through the shredder? Try this program out and let me know what you think.
