UltraShredder shreds Files by overwriting them 199 times with random characters, saving it to disk each time, and then bypasses the recycle bin. If the file were to be recovered by a restoration program, they would only be able to see unintelligible characters on disk where the file used to be. The program is very small with a minute memory footprint, and makes no changes to your system whatsoever.

    Nah, sorry, I'm looking for something which will overwrite my files 200 times. This falls slightly short of the mark. I guess I'm going to have to stick with my DoD-specification shredder, which does three overwrites, is just as secure, and is 66 times faster than this.

    Rated a 4.0, even with my own 1.0 rating. Wow, you people are so helpful. An application that provides no options, no flexibility, no documentation (and yes, there could be documentation; overwriting is not a very simple task), and that wastes time with overwriting passes that really add no security... If it cost $0.50, you'd all rate it a 1.0.

    One thing cannot let me sleep.
    Why not to overwrite file 234984 times ?
