SuperShredder
When you delete a file on your computer, the data in that file can remain on your hard drive for weeks or even months until something else overwrites the space that it occupied. This is especially important if you use any sort of encryption on your system, since it's very common to decrypt to a file and then to delete it when done, which leaves it's contents plainly visible. That's where AnalogX SuperShredder comes in. AnalogX SuperShredder is what's considered a 'secure deletion' tool, which means it mangles a file in such a way that the data contained inside is destroyed BEFORE it deletes the file from the system - in this way ensuring that someone can't come back at a later date and retrieve sensitive material. Our Review: This application is another from the stable of AnalogX. SuperShredder is aimed at document destruction and 'safe erasure' which essentially erases, encrypts, and then once more erases any data selected. This method is used in order to minimise the possibility of data being recovered by third parties and thus making your document management more secure. While there are many applications that can do this function, this AnalogX application is one of the simplest we have seen.
