Frequently asked questions.
Deleting sensitive files using standard methods isn’t secure, as they can often be retrieved and restored. A file or data shredder irreversibly erases your files, folders, or entire drives, preventing any chance of recovery or misuse. Data Shredder is a feature that’s included in Norton Utilities Ultimate, and is an easy-to-use and reliable file shredding tool.
A good file eraser, like the Data Shredder feature included in Norton Utilities Ultimate, works by replacing the original data in your files with random, meaningless data. When you delete a file normally, the data is still on the hard drive and can be recovered. A file shredder stops this by overwriting the data with random information, so the original content is completely erased and can’t be retrieved.
It is virtually impossible to retrieve files after they have been deleted by Data Shredder — because Data Shredder doesn’t just overwrite the data once but it overwrites the data multiple times and then erases the file.
With Norton Utilities Ultimate, you can speed up your Windows PC and free up valuable storage space by removing unneeded apps, programs, and leftover data. Automated PC cleaning and optimization help keep your PC healthy and better performing without having to think about maintenance tasks. You can also enjoy increased online privacy through the removal of temporary browser files and cookies that advertisers can use to track your behavior.
A Norton Small Business subscription may be a great option for you. With Norton Small Business, you get Norton Utilities Ultimate which includes Data Shredder.
