Windows does not physically remove deleted files from your hard disk. Emptying your Recycle Bin does NOT protect you at all. Your sensitive files can be recovered, even after you format your hard disk! When you delete a file from Windows, the OS just marks the file as deleted in the file allocation table, but the data of the file is still on your hard disk. There are many tools available which can let others easily recover your sensitive files even after you format your hard disk.

How does AbsoluteShield File Shredder protect your files?

By overwriting the portion on the hard drive that was previously allocated to the files several times with junk data, AbsoluteShield File Shredder will completely erase files from your disk, without the possibility of recovery by any practical software or hardware methods.
