Ordinary data deletion is insufficient for sensitive information
You have decided to buy a new laptop. But your old laptop still works fine and might do someone somewhere some good. The obvious solution is to donate it to a worthy charity or a relative with lots of kids. There is one problem. All over that computer are your personal files and secure information. There are credit card numbers, addresses and even a few private love letters that are not for anyone else’s eyes. You think that you have deleted these files and technically you have. Deleting a file with shift delete or emptying it from your Windows recycle bin will delete the marker of that file on your hard drives FAT area. The file information itself is all still right where you left it. And anyone can open that file with a recover lost data program.
Before you dispose of a used computer you had better use the Disk Doctors file shredder to rip those files apart in such away as no one not even the data recovery experts at Disk Doctors can piece them together. This powerful file eraser tool uses 9 different patterns of shredding so thorough it exceeds the standards for file elimination set by the US DOD. No other data eraser on the market today can compare.
