Hardwipe is a slick on-demand data sanitizer for Windows with a user interface that is both beautiful and a dream to use.
Use Hardwipe to permanently erase (or "hard wipe") data on disk and portable storage media, ensuring that discarded, but sensitive, information can never be recovered by someone else.
Hardwipe is free for individual use. The software will show ads from its own interface window and will occasionally invite you to upgrade to the ad-free version. However, you will not be required to do so and the software won't stop working if you don't.
Love the feature set and interface but wish wipe programs would quit offering Gutmann by default (maybe available only as a hidden feature). It's hugely wasteful.
Eraser has (I think) most of that and a scheduling feature. I didn't think it wiped the recycle bin but the screenshot seems to indicate that's possible so I'm not sure.
Following up on that, even Guttman himself concurs that nowadays a couple of overwriting passes is more than enough for modern magnetic media (i.e., made after 2000); except for flash based storage, where GOST R 50739-95 (for info, see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsg/g/ ... 739-95.htm) is the bare minimum...
On a related note, the NSA is now able to monitor even disconnected computers, according to this article from the NYT: http://nyti.ms/1cldkBT...
