Active@ Eraser 4.01

This utility supports a variety of sanitation standards including One Pass Zero, military-grade DoD 5220.22-M and Gutmann's. You can erase files, folders, CD-RW discs, logical drives and entire physical drives. The program also wipes out deleted files, which Windows just renders invisible, from your disk. It cleans the tracks of your Internet and local activities, such as cookies and temporary files. You can schedule erasing to trigger every time you start Active Eraser, shut down Windows or begin another activity. It provides right-click context menu support.
