Private Encryptor™ for Win 3.1 - File 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 undelete 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 File Manager to the File Shredder.

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