East-Tec Eraser 2008 is designed to completely eliminate sensitive data from your computer. It goes beyond U.S. Department of Defense security standards, wiping the files beyond recovery, scrambling name and dates and removing all traces of it from your disk. Eraser can also completely destroy any data from previously deleted files that might still be accessible on your disk (in the Recycle Bin or in unused disk areas).

Other features include support for custom privacy needs, user-defined erasure methods, command-line parameters, integration with Windows Explorer, and password protection. The program supports all popular browsers (IE, Netscape, AOL, MSN Explorer, Opera), as well as various Peer-2-Peer applications.
