Simple File Shredder

SFS ensures your privacy by scrambling file names, over-writing files with random bytes, changing the file date/time to a random date/time value,and verify files have been completely shredded before deleting them.

A good use for Simple File Shredder would be to securely delete electronic financial statements, private e-mail, porn, etc.

Why do you need Simple File Shredder?

When you delete a file using the conventional Windows Delete method, the file is not actually destroyed. Windows simply acknowledges the file is no longer needed and considers it free space. The file will exist in a recoverable state until it's over-written with other data. When you use Simple File Shredder to delete (shred) a file, it gives the file a meaningless name and “re-writes” the file with random data. If the file was ever restored using recovery software, it would be worthless.
