Active@ Kill Disk v5.1

Active@ KillDisk - Hard Drive Eraser is powerful and compact software that allows you to destroy all data on hard and floppy drives completely, excluding any possibility of future recovery of deleted files and folders. It's a hard drive and partition eraser utility.
If you use FDISK, FORMAT utilities, or DELETE standard operating system command for data removal, there is always a chance to recover deleted files (using undelete utility or some data recovery software) and use against the owner's will. We highly recommend you to run this FREE utility for the hard and floppy drives you want to dispose of, recycle, re-use, sell or donate to somebody.
Active@ KillDisk conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. The most secure Gutmann's data destruction method is also implemented.
Both WIPE and KILL functions support 17 security standards from various countries such as USA, Canada, Germany and others. You can be sure that once you clean up with Active@ KillDisk, sensitive information is purged out forever.

never heard of this utility seems that it will be useful in the future for me +rep

 

Thanks for posting!
My favourite HDD wiping tool now also has DoD erase method instead of only one-pass zero's. Excellent.

 

Thanks for the rep point been using this product over the years and it's a very good app to have. Active@ products are worth having I swear by them #@+! %$* but each to their own.

 

Great, I've used this in the past, and found it pretty good, will have a look at the new version.
