Lavasoft File Shredder

Take control of the confidental information on your PC!

Digital information is increasingly stored on our computers, leaving the door wide open to security and privacy breaches. Even after you think you have deleted files, they still remain on your computer. When you delete a file, empty your Recycle Bin or format your hard disk, you only alter the structure of the drive, leaving most of the data intact and recoverable.

The easy-to-use Lavasoft File Shredder is a natural addition to the privacy tools you use regularly to ensure your computer security. At home or at the office, Lavasoft File Shredder allows you to permanently remove unwanted files and data in order to give you the control you need over your sensitive information.
