Deleted your Files? But How Secure are you?

Most of the users think that once they delete a file from their PC, it disappears and is removed permanently from their computer, but in actual that’s not the case. Windows does not physically remove deleted files from your hard disk. Emptying your Recycle Bin does not protect you at all. Your sensitive files can be recovered, even after you format your hard disk! So a big question arises here, that how SECURE you are even after deleting your files.

When you delete a file from Windows, the OS just marks the file as deleted in the file allocation table, but the data of the file is still on your hard disk. There are many tools available which can let others easily recover your sensitive files even after you format your hard disk. It is only with the help of good file shredder software that you can be sure that the data in your computer is shredded and made unrecoverable and unreadable to anyone.

It’s your files, can be your personal information, your banking information, or it can be your other sensitive data, and if you think you have deleted them from your PC and you are secure now, then you might be wrong. You don’t have to delete them but you have to shred them so that they can’t be recovered at all. Shredding overwrites your files many a times and makes them unrecoverable by any Deleted Files Recovery Software or any such kind of application. For this you need a file shredder. File Shredder is a utility that will completely erase files and folders from the physical storage medium like Hard Disk Drives, Pen Drives and so on. Normal file deletion only removes a file's directory entry from the index that your Operating System maintains, but the file still remains on the physical storage device. File Shredder from PC Optimizer Pro completely overwrites the contents of a file and makes it unrecoverable and is available free of cost. The good thing is that PC Optimizer Pro comes with 5 more very useful utilities along with the Free File Shredder which you can check file shredder
