What is Eraser?
Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns.

The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.

Other methods include the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defense and overwriting with pseudorandom data. You can also define your own overwriting methods.

Why should I use it?
Most people have some data that they would rather not share with others - passwords, personal information, classified documents from work, financial records, self-written poems, the list can be continued forever.

Perhaps you have saved some of this information on your computer where it is conveniently at your reach, but when the time comes to remove the data from your hard disk, things get a bit more complicated and maintaining your privacy is not as simple as it may have seemed at first.

Secure data removal.
Your first thought may be that when you delete the file, the data is gone. Not quite, when you delete a file, the operating system does not really remove the file from the disk; it only removes the reference of the file from the file system table. The file remains on the disk until another file is created over it, and even after that, it might be possible to recover data by studying the magnetic fields on the disk platter surface.

Before the file is overwritten, anyone can easily retrieve it with a disk maintenance or an undelete utility.

There are several problems in secure file removal, mostly caused by the use of write cache, construction of the hard disk and the use of data encoding. These problems have been taken into consideration when Eraser was designed, and because of this intuitive design and a simple user interface, you can safely and easily erase private data from your hard drive.

I've seen an advertisment for that on porn sites. So i was a bit skeptical.

How long have you used this? And does it contain spyware, or adware?

What the porn sites offers usually removes the cookies and temporary internet files, I will like it if it can overwrite and delete every file you want.

There are quite a few programs that do "secure deletion" of files. Including PGP. Just search for file deletion or secure deletion programs. I have one somewhere (can't remember the name) that actually shows you the drive contents. It also works as an undelete for files that were deleted the "normal" way.

Hey thanks a lot remote access thats what I have been looking for.

Normally I would use PGP for this kind of job, but it seems Eraser is a good tool too. Just look at the reviews.
