Normal File Deletion is NOT secure. Deleting files
merely removes the file system's pointer to the file,
ALL THE DATA REMAINS ON YOUR HARD DRIVE OR FLOPPY DISK.
The remaining data can be easily recovered with data
recovery or forensic software. Your sensitive files may
also be vulnerable to advanced recovery techniques,
EVEN WHEN OVERWRITTEN, by analyzing latent magnetic
traces.

Mutilate securely deletes sensitive files. Use Mutilate
to prevent attempts to recover sensitive deleted files
from your hard drive by data recovery or forensic
software. The program overwrites all bits in selected
files, including cluster slack space, with binary 1's,
0's, and/or random bit patterns. Choose from three
security levels and a customizable level with up to 297
overwrite passes. Mutilate supports complete folder
deletions including subfolders. With Mutilate's disk
free space wiper, you can even use Mutilate to destroy
previously deleted files on your hard drive. And, you
can store up to thirteen folders in Power Mutilator for
quick access to files or folders you target routinely.
