    "Erases all files and empty space quickly"

    July 20, 2011  |   By Spawnstar

    Pros

    Works well
    Multiple options for sweeps
    Can salt free space with file fragments

    Cons

    Progress bar could do with a timer
    Activity Icon would be useful, deleting large amounts of space make it look as though it has stalled

    Summary

    It needs to run with Administrative Privileges to allow it to delete all files and free space.
