Soft4Boost Secure Eraser for Windows

An effective and compact app, Soft4Boost Secure Eraser overwrites unwanted files from your computer so thoroughly that they cannot be accessed again. If you are looking for a reliable method to completely destroy files and folders, this is the app for you.

Pros

Potent: Soft4Boost Secure Eraser works in a similar way to taking a pen and scribbling out something on paper; the deleting process overwrites information, so that any attempt of reconstruction is no longer possible. We tested the app by deleting a few files and folders, and everything was deleted quickly and completely.

Customizable: The program lets you customize how thoroughly your data can be overwritten, with the choice of 1, 2, 3, and 7 pass methods. You can also customize how your interface looks with different options that mimic the designs of various platforms and programs like Android, iOS, MS Office 2010, Ubuntu, and iTunes.

Fast: You can add files and folders as well as remove them with just the click of a button. The app, itself, loads quickly, and even large folders take only a second or two to delete.

Cons

Somewhat awkward file management: Drag and drop is not supported. If it were, the deletion of multiple files would be even more convenient.

Bottom Line

Whether you're selling your computer, giving it to someone, or just want to boost your security, with Soft4Boost Secure Eraser you can be sure all your deleted files are truly gone. You'll find it especially useful if you want to get rid of personal letters, legal forms, passwords, and other sensitive documents.
