Increase your security by shredding important information you do not want anybody to recover from your computer. Shredding files, photos and other items is a process of overwriting the information in the files a certain number of times. The number of times the data is overwritten the harder it is for software recovery programs to retrieve the information.
Warning! Once you shred a file it will not be possible to recover it. Only shred files after you are 100% sure that you will not need them again.
Shred Menu
On the shred menu you have the following options:
Add file – select a file from your computer that you would like to shred.
Remove file – remove a file from the list which you have previously selected but now no longer wish to shred
Clear all – remove all selected files from the shredding list
Recycle bin – add all the files from your recycle bin to the shredding list
Shred – once you have selected the files you wish to destroy click Shred
Shred Level – Three levels of shredding are available with either 1 overwrite, 5 overwrites or 35 overwrites. 1 overwrite is usually sufficient to make a file unrecoverable. Only use 5 or 35 overwrites in extreme cases where you need to be absolutely certain a file will not be recoverable even with the most sophisticated data recovery programs.
