Secure Eraser: Secure Data Deletion, Shredders Your Files & Folders.
Just because it has been removed from your hard drive doesn't mean that it is gone forever. Anyone can restore the information as long as it was not overwritten. It becomes more difficult if the computer has been resold, or given away.
Secure Eraser employs the most well-known method of data disposal. It overwrites sensitive information so that it cannot be recovered even with specialized software. Our award-winning solutions for permanently destroying data eliminate cross-references that may leave traces of deleted files within the allocation table of your hard disk.
This Windows software is easy to use and can overwrite sensitive data up to 35 times, regardless of whether they're files, folders or drives, recycle bins, or traces of surfing. You can also delete files that you have already deleted but not for good.

Help protect our oceans simply by navigating the internet. It is projected that by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will surpass the number of fish, which is why we are dedicated to retrieving plastic that is headed for the sea as you browse online. Keep surfing the web as you normally do and pick up virtual shells on your journey; for every 100 shells collected, we can remove one bottle from the ocean. To facilitate this initiative, we display a limited number of sponsored links, allowing us to collaborate with local communities in plastic retrieval efforts. Additionally, we partner with organizations like PlasticBank to create a worldwide network for collecting plastic waste. The advertisements we present are discreetly placed, appearing as small circles on your browser's homepage every time you open a new tab, ensuring they won’t disrupt your experience. If you choose to utilize our search engine, you will also notice a few search ads at the top of the results, similar to what you would find on any other search platform. By engaging in this simple act of browsing, you are contributing to a larger mission to clean our oceans and promote sustainability.
