We are happy to announce that we just received an Editor’s Choice award for AceErase File Shredder from Softonic.com! Softonic is one of the top download sites here in the U.S.A and also in Spain and many parts of Europe, so we are very honored that they picked our File Shredder as their Editor’s Choice.

They gave us a very nice review, too, which you can read here:
AceErase File Shredder Review

Just an excerpt from their review:

“What’s nice about AceErase File Shredder is that it supports an easy to use drag and drop interface plus it doesn’t just erase files permanently but it also erases history of surfing habits, recently opened files etc. AceErase File Shredder can protect you against Identity Theft or someone recovering data from a PC you’ve either loaned or used before someone else (such as in internet cafes).” (by Editor Nick Mead)”

Thanks Softonic!

Technorati Profile

IT Works Software, Inc. has released AceEraseâ„¢ 1.5 Professional. AceErase is an easy to use, secure
file shredder and history eraser program in one designed to help users protect their privacy while online and off!

AceErase is a data file shredder and history eraser program for your computer. Currently, it provides five powerful digital data shredding algorithms that are Department of Defense (DOD) strength and stronger. These algorithms securely overwrite the data in your files to permanently delete that data and prevent its recovery forever!

Why should you shred your data?

When you delete files or when you empty your Recycle Bin, those files are not really deleted!
In order to make the deletion operation faster, Windows® simply marks the file as deleted, but the contents of that file
remain on your hard drive indefinitely. There are many file recovery tools available on the market today which allow those files to be easily recovered.


Some data recovery utilities even claim they can recover your files even after the hard drive has been formatted! If you are planning on loaning, selling, or donating your computer, you should properly destroy any sensitive data using a file shredder like AceErase first, otherwise your sensitive information can be easily compromised.

AceErase Pro shreds your sensitive files, (even those in your Recycle Bin) by using Department of Defense strength shredding algorithms to permanently destroy, wipe, and erase those selected files (or even entire folders) from your hard drive, making it impossible to recover that data again.

Shred your tracks!

But, AceErase Pro doesn’t stop there. It’s not just a file and folder shredder, it also uses the same powerful shredding engine to shred, not just delete, your Internet Explorer browsing history, and traces of your computer activity using it’s Shred Your Tracks feature.

AceErase Pro’s Shred Your Tracks feature allows you to not just delete, but shred…

• IE’s Temporary Internet Files (Internet Cache)
• IE’s Internet Cookies
• IE’s Internet History
• IE’s Address Bar History List
• Your Recently Opened Documents List
• Your Computer’s Start/Run History List
• Your Local Temporary Files
• Recycle Bin Contents
• Shred file tips (cluster tips, file slack) automatically
• Unused free space on all of your hard drives

All from one convenient location at the click of a button!
