Goes way beyond Government-grade, Department of Defense, requirements to 'completely destroy' files. Every bit of a file is overwritten numerous times and then randomized.And, using proper, proven methods, Shredder95 also overwrites the name, date, time, and size so that nothing whatsoever remains. Shredder95 has gone up against others and has been called the only one that works by magazines. Whatever files (pictures, letters, email, etc) that you mayhave, Shredder95 will remove, forever. Excellent interface, adaptive design, and constant upgrades and awards continue to prove Shredder95.
