ProtectStar Data Shredder for Windows

• 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

  securexpertMay 16, 2010

  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.

  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.

• 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 :-(
