What Is Spybot Shredder?

Spybot Shredder is a tool within a larger program known as "Spybot: Search and Destroy." This program is primarily for fighting spyware but contains a few extra tools, including the shredder. The "secure shredder" is a tool for deleting files in a more secure way than what happens when you just drag the files into the recycling bin or press "Delete."

Considerations

Deleted files are normally simply slotted on your computer to be written over when the memory slot they occupy is needed.

Misconceptions

When you delete files from your computer normally, the files are not actually gone. They can be recovered with the right tools.

Significance

Spybot Secure Shredder will make sure files you want to eliminate are more thoroughly deleted.

Features

You can choose between 1 and 35 "passes" in the secure shredder, depending on how sure you want to be that the file can't be recovered.

Function

Specific files such as "Temp," "Cache" or "Cookie" can be chosen to be securely shredded with this program tool.
