jv16 PowerTools 2008 - Disk Wiper

The Disk Wiper allows you to remove data from your hard drives in a way it cannot ever be restored again.

The tool can work in three operating modes

1. It can wipe only the free space of the hard drive
2. It can wipe all files and directory structures
3. It can wipe all data, free space, directory structures and files

The wiping works by overwriting the data many times before actually deleting it. The number of overwrites can be easily configured.

It's important to remember that a wiping tool must also destroy all the meta-data stored to disk. The Disk Wiper wipes the following information

• Filenames
• Directory names
• File attributes
• All contents of the files and directories

Main advantages over competitors

• Can also wipe meta-data
• Can be used with many data sources, such as directories or hard drives at the same time

Note: The Disk Wiper is designed to wipe large amounts of data at a time. You can wipe individual files with the File Tool.

Great, but what does it do for me?
Your privacy will increase as the tool can remove sensitive data from your computer in a way it cannot ever be restored.
