Eraser 6.0.6.1376
Erase data permanently
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. Furthermore, with Eraser you have the possibility to define your own overwriting methods.
Here are some key features of "Eraser":
· Secure drive erasure methods are supported out of the box
· Erases files, folders and their previous deleted counterparts
· Works with an extremely customisable Scheduler
Requirements:
· Windows Common Control 4.72
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Progress dialog improvements
· Deal with cluster tip erasure failures more robustly
· When a user does a folder erasure, delete all empty subfolders of the target if they are empty after the erase regardless of whether the folder should be deleted when empty
· Fixed the crash which appears after Erase has been running for a while
· Create a Hide button for the progress dialog
· Relabelled tab order for the progress dialog
· Friendlier error message used when access is denied erasing a file cluster tip.
· Moved the task list to a file in the Local Application Data folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%Eraser 6)
· Allow users to filter log messages by severity
· Fixed crash when "unformatted" drives are installed on the computer. Thanks to Xanashi for reporting the bug.
· Clean up files meant for cleaning up the MFT after we are done with it. Thanks to mcmaster76 for reporting the bug.
· Log viewer performance optimisations
