Version: Zilla Data Nuker 2
"Works but requires work."
Pros: This software lets you shred files, shred your recycle bin and shred free space on a drive using the US DOD and other recommended standards. It does this really well.
Cons: I've had lots of problems using the software, including my "music tasks" such as "play selection" and "play all" not working for audio. If you want to fix this you have to get an app called shellexview and follow these instructions to disable the Zilldatanuker context menu entry:
windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm
"Free" can also be taken with a pinch of salt with this app. Every time you load it up it says "trial version of active skin control", whatever that means,
Its also not that attractive. The skin looks as though it came from a 1999 GUI or something.
Finally, it doesn't let you shred the free space on an SD memory stick, it only works on drives.
I would still recommend it because it does the job, but at a price and it definitely needs improving.
