Description:
------------
Shred-X is a security file shredder. Its purpose is to prevent others from breaching your privacy or stealing your secrets by securely removing all traces of any sensitive files from your hard disk. Shred-X does this by using  sophisticated overwriting algorithms which obliterate latent data on your hard disk, making your deleted files irrecoverable, even by expensive equipment. The user interface was designed with safety and ease of use as prime criteria. Multi-pass file deletion, (including the Windows SwapFile) is combined with effective disk cleaning.
