There is no minimum hardware requirement for PC Shredder to run properly.    Why You Need PC Shredder:  When you delete files from a disk on your computer, Windows does not erase the contents of these files from the disk - it only deletes 'references' to these files from files system tables. The contents of all deleted files remain on the disk and can be easily restored using any recovery utility.  After you delete the data, Windows deletes the data but not completely. After deleting the file, its name is only erased from the database whereas all the contents remain there. This way data don't get deleted completely. Here is the solution for your concern.  Don't let your PC be unfaithful to you. Use PC Shredder to keep your PC secure and faithful.  PC Shredder allows you easily wipe free space to ensure that previously 'deleted' files cannot be recovered.  PC Shredder uses 5 built-in delete files algorithms for overwriting files content to leave no chances to recover them.  PC Shredder can save hard disk space and improve your computer's performance Author: PCShredder.com| Date: 10-09-2008 | Size: 283 KB

	Eraser  License: Freeware
	Eraser is an advanced security tool, which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. You can drag and drop files and folders to the on-demand eraser, use the convenient Explorer shell extension or use the integrated scheduler to program overwriting of unused disk space or, for example, browser cache files to happen regularly, at night, during your lunch break, at weekends or whenever you like. The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove the magnetic remnants from the hard disk. Other methods include the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defense and overwriting with pseudo-random data. You can also define your own overwriting methods. Author: Sami Tolvanen| Date: 07-01-2002 | Size: 750 KB

	Zilla Free DataNuker  License: Freeware
	Zilla Data Nuker literally destroys files, free space and your Recycle Bin contents instead of only deleting them. That means your data contents once overwritten and destroyed It can't be recovered. The user therefore should be sure of the files, folders .etc. he/she wants to shred.There are many safeguards built into the Zilla Data Nuker program to warn the user.Windows allocates clusters for new files (and extending existing files) from one end of the disk and moving towards the other end. Accordingly, the user for example if deleting files near the end of the disk, it might be very long before those clusters get used again.Therefore, shredding a disk's free space ensures that any deleted data stored in unallocated clusters will be completely shredded, and all the bits and pieces of left over data from deleted files will be destroyed.Generally speaking Windows stores files using two steps:A directory entry and A series of one or more clusters on a disk.When the user deletes a file using windows the file's data doesn't actually get deleted from disk. Windows simply marks the file's clusters as available for reuse, then marks that file's directory entry as deleted (from the directories available) by replacing the first character of the file's name with a special character. Now if those clusters don't get reused for another file, they are vulnerable and can be retrieved by those who know where and how to look for it.Adding one byte to the directory that was deleted will allow the retrieve of the entire file that has been deleted. This is used in most of the "Unerase" utilities functions. Zilla Data Nuker makes it virtually impossible to retrieve data from a file because it literally overwrites the file's data clusters before deleting the file. A "quick" shred overwrites the file once, filling its data clusters with zeroes. A "Thorough" shred overwrites the file maximum 10 times, using varying bit patterns each time Author: ZillaSoft.ws| Date: 15-04-2007 | Size: 124 KB

	fSekrit  License: Freeware
	fSekrit is a small application for keeping encrypted notes. The real advantage of fSekrit is that notes are truly self-contained; the editor program and your note are merged together into a tiny self-contained program file, removing the need to install a special application to view your data. This makes fSekrit ideal for keeping encrypted notes on, for example, USB flash drives. Another advantage of using fSekrit is that your un-encrypted data is never stored on your harddisk. With a traditional encryption utility you would have to decrypt your file to disk, view or edit it, and then re-encrypt it, and unless you use secure file wiping tools, it would be a trivial matter for someone to to retrieve your un-encrypted data, even though you have deleted it. This can't be done with fSekrit, though, since it never stores your un-encrypted data on disk. Author: DonationCoder| Date: 31-01-2006 | Size: 43 KB
