Of programs that you do not need to install, as it does not function only on the clearing the data of hard drives, but also USB keys and memory cards. The program also allows for the possibility of Formatting hard drive before the erasing process, so as to speed up the scanning process. Practical advise before you erasing any hard drive in order to speed up the process of full clearing of the evidence from the hard drive.
