With File Shredder you can remove files from your hard drive without fear they could be recovered. In order to remove, or shred files permanently from your system you have to use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with series of binary data multiple times.
This process is often called shredding. That way, the actual content of the file has been overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a shredded file are mostly theoretical.
Uses ExtractIconEx to show the associated program of every file in the shred list.
Supports file and folder shredding
Uses backgroundworker because if not main window hangs wile shredding big files (i’ve tested with up to 2GB iso file and shreds it without problems)
