WinShredder
2.0 deletes index.dat!
Index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser.
The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs
as long as Windows is active. It functions as a repository of
redundant information, such as web URLs, search queries, and recently
opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in
the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing"
stores the contents of a database in a different order to help
speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function
is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is
sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to
attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit
field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer
history, cache, and cookies. from Wikipedia
 Why
do you need WinShredder?
Because your Windows Recycle bin only deletes the file that you
see ... not the actual data on your harddrive. However, until
the file location on your hard disk is overwritten many times,
the files can be completely recovered using many available computer
programs, or even simple computer commands. Deleted files are
the first thing hackers, privacy thiefs, and other computer experts
look for when they are trying to recover sensitive information
from your computer or discarded disks. Employers routinely search
for 'deleted' files to discover information about employees.
The WinShredder Shred
Method
WinShredder shreds files using the most advanced, ‘military-grade’
data deletion methods available. Indeed, the shred method used
by WinShredder (5022.22M ) have been approved for use by both
the U.S. Department of Defense (D.o.D.) and the U.S. National
Security Agency (N.S.A.). WinShredder performs ALL tasks required
by the above agencies when shredding and our proprietary shred-engine
is fast, fast, FAST!

- Unlimited Shredding
Most competitor products limit the user to only 1, or to a fixed
number of data wipes when shredding. WinShredder permits an
UNLIMITED number of data wipes. Want to shred that file 10000
times? No problem!
- Unlimited 'Do Not Shred' Folder Locations
A serious flaw in most competitor products is the inability
to protect important folders from accidental shredding. This
disastrous problem is solved with WinShredder. WinShredder permits
an unlimited number of 'Do Not Shred' folder locations to be
defined, protecting them from accidental shredding.
- Drag and Drop to the Desktop Trashcan
WinShredder supports all Windows drag and drop features. You
can Shred files or folders simply by dragging them to the desktop
WinShredder Trashcan.
- True Windows Explorer Integration (Right
mouse-click menu integration)
WinShredder integrates with all versions of the Windows operating
system and appears as a new 'Delete with WinShredder' menu option,
complete with icon, when right mouse-clicking on a file or folder.
- Optional Instant Shredding
Turn on the 'Instant Shred' option and you can start the shred
process instantly just by dragging files to the desktop WinShredder
trash can.
- No 'lock-ups' while Shredding
Many competitor products lock up your computer while they are
shredding files. While they are shredding files, you cannot
move your mouse or open another program, or, your mouse is jerky
and intermittent. Not WinShredder! You can continue to work
while shredding is underway, seamlessly and smoothly.
