File Monster
File Monster completely erases files from your system -- actually overwriting the information in the file so it can not be recovered. The reason information is still available when you delete files with normal deletion methods is because normal deletion methods only tell the operating system to not recognize the file as being present anymore, yet the information hasn't really been erased. As a result, anyone with a little knowledge of computers can very easily recover the information you thought was erased.
In fact, the first place that anyone that wants to snoop on your computer is going to look is the information in the supposedly "deleted" files -- that's because it's often where all the important information is located -- you just conveniently tipped them off where to look. Some imporant questions you have to consider:
# When you delete files is the information in those files something you want just anyone to have access to?
# When you leave your office at night, just who has access to your computer?
# Do you trust that neighbor that comes over to your house to use or fix your computer? How about your roommate?
# Do you trust the people you give your computer to when something needs installed or fixed?
Now maybe these people will just snoop around -- or maybe they'll take the information they collect for their own use or to use against you!
To take your privacy a step further, File Monster not only erases all the data in that file so that it cannot be recovered, it also overwrites the original file name with a randomly generated name and it changes the file's creation date. Moreover, it can even erase pesky hidden files, system files, and read-only files. This utilities software is listed under file, security, privacy, file management.
