FileWasher doesn't defragment your drive, clean your registry, speed up
your Internet connection or cure Male Pattern Baldness. It does clean 20
of the most common types of temporary and junk files from your hard drive, and,
if you so choose, Shreds files you don't want to be recovered. You can also
select an unlimited number of custom file extensions to scan for (up to 5 at a
time) which makes FileWasher Pro a handy (and very fast) file search tool. It
also clears the Recent Documents List, clears Internet Explorer's History of
visited pages, Typed URL (web addresses) List, manages Internet Explorer's cache
(Temporary Internet Files) and empties the Recycle Bin. There is also a 'Delete
Temps' button which trawls all known system temporary folders and deletes the
contents with a single click. Not only that, but you can set your computer to
overwrite the Windows Swap File at each system shutdown, clear the MRU (most
recently used) lists of many common programs, delete potentially sensitive
index.dat files, clear the Windows Prefetch folder, find and delete 0 byte
(empty) files and last but not least disable Windows XP's System Restore and
delete potentially dangerous System Restore Points.
A major factor in
designing FileWasher Pro was the need to delete files with no possibility of
recovery by someone else. We decided to incorporate a digital version of
that old office standby, the paper shredder. The Military came up with a standard of
digital wiping (or shredding) which for all intents and purposes renders the
wiped files completely non-recoverable. The Shredder in FileWasher Pro exceeds
this military standard and subsequently the shredded files CAN NOT be recovered.
