BAD BAD SOFTWARE
phurfaceMarch 7, 2015
Pros
None that I can find.
Cons
A horrid program that buries itself in your drive. It does not come with an uninstaller, nor does it show up in Control Panel Programs to uninstall. If you right click the icon, the "Open Folder Location" is grayed out as if they've taken administrative privileges from you, the computer owner. I had to wipe my drive and reconstruct to get it off. Even if you manually navigate to the program location in the x86 file, you cannot manually delete it. BEWARE!

excellent development process

Pros
+ quick and secure erasure software + official compatible with Windows 7 + 32-bit and real native 64-bit application. State of the Art + frequently updates, new features and bug fixes
Cons
the freeware version could have more features, but ok.
Summary
I can recommend that erasure software for private users and companies. For private users which don't want to secure delete a whole partition, the freeware version is enough.
worthless software

Appears to do everything the developers have promised.

Pros
User-friendly and very easy to navigate. The application seems to deliver comprehensive, secure document deletion, and it works quickly and completely. I've had no problems with it to date.
Cons
No problems at this point.
Summary
Great solution
securexpertApril 21, 2007
Pros
It is very fast and the maximum security option called "ProtectStar Security" (ProtectStar Secure Deletion Algorithm) seems very secure. <p> <p>It is very easy to use via the context menu of Windows
Cons
It doesn't work on Windows Vista right now :-(
