Editor's review

DriveScrubber, this powerful disc clean up utility will permanently and securely wipe confidential data from your system drives.
Your confidential information if fallen in wrong hands might prove to be fatal. Regular file deletion techniques including formatting do not have the potential to delete files permanently. Hence, a reliable tool with the capability to scrub away files permanently is necessary to prevent confidential information from falling in wrong hands when selling or donating a computer. This intrusive tool not only erases all drive contents but will also wipe the free space of a drive to clear all remnants of deleted files. Moreover, all existing files, programs, and the operating system are intact, whereas deleted files are beyond recovery. The advanced tool supports restoring your hard drive like new even after virus or spyware attacks.
This clean-up tool meets and exceeds U.S. Department of Defense standards to protect from the latest and greatest recovery and forensic techniques.

Publisher's description

Protect your personal information when you sell, donate, or recycle your computer! DriveScrubber permanently erases hard drive data so that that your private information can never be recovered.
Erase the entire hard drive, or wipe just the free space on your hard drive to scrub file remnants while leaving the operating system and applications intact. DriveScrubber works within Windows, and cleans unwanted data from your primary hard drive or partition, your flash drive, your USB hard drive, and even your digital camera.
Deleting a file removes the reference to that file, but not the file itself. Space occupied by the file's data is marked as "free space," and unless the data is overwritten, it remains on the drive, as does evidence of the source file.
Even reformatting a hard drive is not enough to erase the data on it. Formatting removes file allocation information, and it performs other housekeeping functions for data storage. But it does NOT erase data.
DriveScrubber cleans your drives to Department of Defense standards, ensuring that deleted files stay out of reach, and even shredding stubborn malware that cannot be removed by other methods. A single license of DriveScrubber can be used on up to 3 PCs.
