Private Encryptor - File/Folder Shredder

When a file is deleted in the computer, it is not really deleted.
For speed performance reasons, the computer only deletes the file indexing information saying that the disk space the file occupied is now free.
Only when another file is created using that space will that information disappear.   This fact allows unerase utilities like Norton Utilities *, PCTOOLS * or the like to retrieve all or part of the information that the file contained.

The File Shredder overwrites the contents of a file with 2 complementary sequences of alternating bits, and then fills it with blank spaces prior to deleting it, thus completely erasing the contents of that file.

You can drag files directly from the Explorer to the File Shredder.

Whole directories and their subdirectories can be shredded with a push of a button!

For files that were already deleted, Private Encryptor offers the ability to clean all free space in a disk.  Private Encryptor will create temporary files filling the free space and placing them in the list to be shredded.

WARNING - Once a file is shredded, it is GONE.
