	CHAOS Shredder  License: Freeware
	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 formated 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).

	Schredit  License: Freeware
	Why use schredit? After all, Windows allows you to delete files, documents, pictures and other data by simply dropping them into the trashcan and when you `empty the trash` those files are gone. Right? Wrong ! <BR> You just need to browse the internet, shareware libraries etc to find dozens, if not hundreds of simple utilities that can recover deleted files, folders and even whole harddrives. So, just because you delete something doesn`t mean that somebody else isn`t going to read it. <BR> Schredit sits on your Windows desktop just like trashcan. But that`s where the similarity ends...... Files dropped into Schredit are not coming back. <BR>Warning! Don`t come to us if you drop some really important data into Schredit. It doesn`t matter how important those files were or how much money you`re prepared to spend on data recovery. Fact is, we can`t help you Author: Axis Controls Limited| Date: 08-05-2005 | Size: 1470 KB

	Easy Shred  License: Freeware
	Easy Shred is probably one of the smallest and most efficient programs available for shredding files on your PC. As most people know using the trash can to "trash" a file only removes its reference and it is very easy for the file to be recovered. There are many free deleted file recovery tools available. On the other hand Easy Shred uses a negative algorithm to overwrite your files and folders multiple times. The end result of this is a file that is extremely difficult / costly to have recovered and for all but the most determined of people permanently removed. Whilst some programs can identify the names of shredded files I've yet to find a program that could successfully recover the file data. Shredding can be initiated by either dragging or dropping your files / folders over the Easy Shred desktop icon or by right clicking on any files or folders you want shredding and using the Easy Shred option.
