Does privazer safely delete files ?

[dragonmew]

All these types of software free or paid say that they will delete your files and then you pick a piece of software and someone gets hold of your personal info what experiences have you had with east tec,ccleaner or privazer and how secure are there deletion methods.

Hi CCleaner has a driver wipe feature in tools, that over writes as many times as you choose. I really don't any thing is 100% if the government wants that information.

Privazer is very good you can overwrite files and free space up to 37 times and makes data unrecoverable.

Assumption that those secure delete methods are very aggressive to be in fact you cannot recovery already which totally overwrite. Use it wisely

I do know that East-Tec Eraser is very configurable, and you can set it to use the Gutmann Algorthim (35 pass sanitize method). I also select the: "Use Isaac Random generating algorithm" option in the: Erase Deleted Data Advanced Settings Dialog-->Security Level Settings Dialog.

This is what my copy of East-Tec Erases is set to.

I think this is a good choice. It will do a good job for you.

Privazer is a 'privacy' cleaner, just visit their homepage. It clearly shows, "Secure cleanup with one-click", "Indepth cleaning" and "Privacy protection".

Test with Piriform's Recuva software.

As I checked the program before, couldn't see any problem that can raise an issue for operating system so its safe; those things is to make the program clean more locations based from user input.

No it doesn't, but you can add Google Chrome, in the Custom Settings. They continuously update their application database. Not sure they Chrome is not listed.

Well It's sure shows Chrome in CCleaner. CCleaner has been around for as long as I have.
I'm staying with CCleaner.
Can't attach screen shot or I would show you.

No problem, as I am very familiar with CCleaner!! That's why there's different software available, as not everyone is going to like this one or that one. It's nice having choices. Of course, CCleaner and East-Tec Eraser are somewhat different in what they do, as I believe that ET Eraser is a more specifically geared to system security. This is just my observation, and slight opinion.

Happy CCleaner Cleaning!!
