Why use AppleXsoft File Eraser ?

Digital information is increasingly stored on our computers, leaving the door wide open to security and privacy breaches. Even after you think you have deleted files, they still remain on your computer. When you delete a file, empty your Recycle Bin or format your hard disk, you only alter the structure of the drive, leaving most of the data intact and recoverable.

The easy-to-use AppleXsoft File Eraser is a natural addition to the privacy tools you use regularly to ensure your computer security. At home or at the office, AppleXsoft File Eraser allows you to permanently wipe unwanted files and data in order to give you the control you need over your sensitive information. If you are planning to sell or dispose off your PC, Laptop or the external drive, it is imperative to securely shred the data beyond recovery.

File Eraser supports the following overwriting algorithms:

1. Zero Write
   This method will overwrite the target data area with a fixed value (0×00) throughout the entire area.
2. Super Fast Zero Write
   This method will overwrite the target data area with a fixed value (0×00) on every 3rd sector.
3. Fast Zero Write
   This method will overwrite the target data area with a fixed value (0×00) on every other sector.
4. Random Write
   Overwrites the target data area with random values. The user selects the number of passes, from 1 to 9
5. Random & Zero Write
   After overwriting the target data area with random values, it will overwrite once again with a fixed value (0×00) overwrites with random values and then with zero; more secure than zero write.
6. S Navy standard NAVSO P-5239-26 for RLL encoded drives
   This deletion method first writes the fixed value (0xffffffff) to the target data area, then the fixed value (0x27ffffff) and then random values. Finally, the target data area is read to verify the overwrites.
7. Random Random Zero
   This method first overwrites the target data area twice with random values, then once more with the fixed value (0×00). Overwrites twice with random values and then once with zeros; more secure than Random & Zero Write.
8. Bit Toggle
   This method will overwrite the target data area four times, first with the value (0×00), then with the value (0xff), then (0×00), then (0xff).
9. US Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M)
   The deleting method was introduced by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) and is known as “DoD5220.22-M”. It will overwrite the target data area first by writing a fixed value (in our case, 0×00) once, then its compliment value (in our case, 0xff) once and finally random values once. After the random value overwrite is complete, the disk is read to verify the overwrites.
10. North Atlantic Treaty Organization- NATO Standard
    This method is the deletion standard of North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It will overwrite the target data area 7 times. The first six overwrites are with the fixed values (0×00) and (0xff), alternating between passes. The 7th overwrite is with a random value.
11. US Navy, NAVSO P-5239-26 (MFM)
    This is the US Navy standard NAVSO P-5239-26 for MFM encoded drives. This deletion method first writes the fixed value (0xffffffff) to the target data area, then the fixed value (0xbfffffff) and then random values. Finally, the target data area is read to verify the overwrites.
12. US Air Force, AFSSI5020
    This is the US Air Force standard AFSSI5020. This deletion method first overwrites the target data area with the fixed value (0×00), then with the fixed value (0xff) and then with a randomly selected constant. Finally, at least 10% of the drive is read to verify the overwrites.
13. Peter Gutmann
    This method was introduced by Peter Gutmann in the year 1996. This is perhaps the most secure deletion method available. It will overwrite the target data area by writing random values four times on each sector. Next, it will overwrite the target data area with carefully chosen fixed values on each sector, 27 times. Finally, it will write random values 4 times on each sector. This is 35 write passes in total.
14. US Department of Defense(DoD 5220.22-M) + Gutmann Method
    This is very secure deletion. It will use the US Department of Defense (DoD5220.22-M) standard method followed by the Gutmann deletion method.
