When you upgrade your old PC or hard drive, it's difficult to know what to do with the contents. You could wipe and format the drive, but there are specialist software tools that will enable someone to attempt to salvage the formatted data, which means your data, work and other files might fall in to the wrong hands. The only other option is to manually erase your files, but can you be assured that the tool of choice will really erase the data?

Eraser 5.84 has been around for eons and is a free tool that's designed to erase info, data and other files from your computer. These files are not just deleted, they are erased, written over and lost for good, so it's important you have backed up, copied or truly want rid of the data. The latest Eraser 5.84 is finally been made compatible with Windows Vista.
