Shred files without leaving a trace

The problem with Windows is that it never properly deletes files when you think they've been deleted - it often leaves behind traces that can be recovered by anyone in the know.

The problem is that the allocation area or the index of the file system (FAT or NTFS) marks the area used by the deleted file as empty but the actual raw contents of the files are always present even if the file has been deleted. Disk Doctors File Shredder ensures that anything that you've deleted definitely remains deleted no matter what Windows may have done with the files.

Disk Doctors File Shredder helps you to shred files and folders from your Windows drive, shredding the deleted data and leaving no traces of sensitive critical data. Disk Doctors File Shredder is very easy to run and use via a hierarchical explorer which displays which files and folders are available to shred. Those that you want to shred, simply add them to the Disk Doctors File Shredder “shredding zone” and you have 9 options over exactly how shredded you want the files to be processed by Disk Doctors File Shredder differing in thoroughness and time it takes. The developers claim that the shredding standards of Disk Doctors File Shredder reach those of the US Department of Defence although this is obviously impossible to verify.

Disk Doctors File Shredder is a very secure way to make sure that anything you delete is definitely deleted and remains so.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
