Publisher's Description of File Monster

" Completely erase files from your computer so the information is unrecoverable. "
- From Eric Robertson
When you delete files using normal deletion methods, you leave all the information in those files readily available to anyone with access to your computer! File Monster, on the other hand, completely erases files from your system -- actually overwriting the information in the file. The reason your data is still available when you delete files with normal deletion methods is because the procedure only tells the operating system to not recognize the file as being present anymore; however, the data contained in those files hasn't truly been erased and anyone with a little knowledge of computers can very easily get the data back. Often the first place someone that wants to retrieve information from your computer is going to look is at the information in the "deleted" files. After all, you just tipped them off that those files were important enough to you that you tried to erase them.
Some questions you have to ask yourself:
1. Is there information on your computer that you don't want just anyone to have access to?
2. When you leave your office at night, just who has access to your computer?
3. Do you trust that neighbor that comes over to your house to use (or fix) your computer? How about your roommate?
4. Do you trust the people you give your computer to when something needs installed or fixed?
Now maybe these people will just snoop around -- or maybe they'll take the information they collect for their own use, or they'll use the information they find against you! To take your privacy a step further, File Monster not only erases all the data in that file so that it cannot be recovered, it also overwrites the original file name with a randomly generated name and it changes the file's creation date. If you have files on your system that are confidential (or just plain personal) and you do not want to leave to chance that someone can easily recover the information in them after you have "deleted" them, then File Monster will be an essential tool!
