Egis Tech software is like buying a virus
Charger_Fan10/1/2012- Pros
- Easy to install. Pre-installed on Acers.
- Cons
- Pre-installed on Acers. Very, very difficult to uninstall. Breaks Windows backup. Easy to install, does damage to your computer and is then very difficult to remove - sounds like a virus to me. Actually, viruses are easier to remove. I'll never by another Acer or anything from Egis Tech.
- Summary
- Why would any legitimate software not be easily uninstalled? Go ahead and buy this SPAM. I warned you.
Can't uninstall
ElGrillo290902/20/2012- Pros
- I don't need it or want it. It is part of the bloatware that seems to have crept into so many new computers.
- Cons
- This product came preinstalled on my Acer. I have tried to delete it along with MyWinLocker from my computer and it will not go away. I have tried Programs and Features, Revo Uninstaller, IObit uninstaller,and MicrosoftInstall Cleanup. None work. I had to recover my hard drive after trying to delete all the files then turning off system processes to delete the ones that Windows would not let me delete otherwise. I have searched through dozens of websites, including Microsoft forums for a way to uninstall this program.
- Summary
- If you don't need it, don't install it.
Won't uninstall without buying another program
jsonewald1/23/2012- Pros
- Seems to be about as good as Eraser, or other free software
- Cons
- Cannot be uninstalled through Win 7 or other (CCleaner) methods.
- Summary
- There are better and free programs available.
Great Find On My Computer
Chicherri8/26/2011- Pros
- I came across files that wouldn't delete normally, so somehow I clicked around and found the "Shredder". Got rid of my unwanted files.
- Cons
- Don't have any. Haven't used the new update yet
- Summary
- Great idea, and works well

Easy & Fast
Cool_Lin9/21/2009- Pros
- It is very easy to use with the simple user interface. It is secure as well. Those shredded files cannot be recovered by the recovery tools. And the speed is quite fast.
- Cons
- The previously deleted data or internet history shredding is not supported. More shredding functions will be better.
- Summary
- Very useful if you want to clear the unwanted but important files. Hope the updated versions will come soon.
Simple and Cool while faster than others
TopofWorld4/19/2009- Pros
- 1. It's very fast to remove a bunch of files and folders in comparison with other softwares. 2. Quite simple user interface and easy to use. 3. The algorithm adopted is robust enough.
- Cons
- 1. It's better to have a higher level shredding, such as in the partition-based or disk-based. 2. Not sure if it can be two-level shredding. One can be recovered but with a certain protection. Another just totally clean all the data physically.
- Summary
- Quite simple to use with very practical functionalities. Worth download and keep.
Simple & fast on shredding speed with large files
fay08144/14/2009- Pros
- it's simple and easy to use. It only took me 2 mins to shred 2G files. (FAT system) The US DoD algorithm is also a reliable choice.
- Cons
- it's better if there will be system shredding function. Currently there is file and folder shredding function only.
- Summary
- I like this product because it's really easy to use and the shredding speed is faster than others.
Cool secure shredding
EgisTec4/14/2009- Pros
- It is good and easy to use. Only need a short time to shred even a large size file. Put the unwanted file into recycle bin is not really safe. A tool like this helps. I like it.
- Cons
- Nothing much I noticed.
- Summary
- Worth ton download and keep
