    "Doesn't work at all."

    January 30, 2006  |   By RonSMeyer

    Cons

    I ran a complete free space wipe and let it run to 100% completion. Afterward I ran an undelete program and nearly every file previously deleted was still recoverable. There should be ZERO recoverable files and directories. There should be no trace they even existed. This thing does not work at all.

    In order for the drive wiper to work effectively you MUST turn off your recycle bin protection so it will not continue to store the markers and information for the files, folders and free space that you are wiping.

    Our next update of information will include that information, it was an oversight in the description. Please visit out website for more information and screen shots that were not posted on Download for some reason.
