Eraser is an advanced security tool for Windows which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns.
When you delete a file, the operating system does not really remove the file from the disk; it only removes the reference of the file from the file system table. The file remains on the disk until another file is created over it, and even after that, it might be possible to recover data by studying the magnetic fields on the disk platter surface.
There are several problems in secure file removal, mostly caused by the use of write cache, construction of the hard disk and the use of data encoding. These problems have been taken into consideration when Eraser was designed, and because of this intuitive design and a simple user interface, you can safely and easily erase private data from your hard drive.

更新日誌 |
- Updated a few missing Italian localisation resources - Fixed crash on startup for certain computers - Use proper font handling for menus during theming. - Made improvements to the progress handling of NTFS' handling of unused directory entry erasures - Stricter .NET framework version check, including that of service packs. - Don't allow automatically-loaded plugins to be automatically-loaded forever (security fix) - Unauthorised file access messages during cluster tip erasures have been downgraded from error to information. - Fixed potential blank context menu items in certain locales and locations in the shell - Better error handling when cleaning up erased files and folders - Fixes bug #286: Random errors when erasing cluster tips due to SfcIsFileProtected - Fixes bug #285: Multiple custom method editor bugfixes - Fixes multiple localisation issues for users who do not use English builds of Windows and for which no localisation is currently available - Better error message when loading settings fail. - Prevent a stack overflow when a user picks the FL16KB erasure method recursively as the chained erasure method. - Fixed updating from the Eraser website when we use download IDs - Fixed random crashes when using the Context menu to erase files/folders - Simplified removal of decoy files from the settings page - Fixed removal of plausible deniability decoys (#297) - Fixed more crashes on startup. - Fixed crash when erasing files which do not exist. - Fixed race condition when two Eraser instances are started at the same time - Fixed crash when clicking on the About dialog, but the appropriate handler could not be executed. - Fixed crash when closing open handles for which filenames cannot be found. - Fixed crash when users erase the root of a drive - Fixed error when erasing files with plausible deniability enabled and having insufficient space on-disk. - Fixed crashes when progress events are triggered (due to their asynchronous nature) - Fixed cluster tip erasures when erasing the system drive: check both for existence of a directory as well as the ability to access it before throwing errors - Task log improvements, notably those which involve errors before logging used to start - Fixed inconsistent state of tasks which were edited and run immediately (potential crash) - Removed NtQuerySystemInformation entropy gathering, fixes freezing and BSoDs for most users - Better test for stream existence - Confirm with the user that dropped files should be erased. Fixes #306 - Implemented UNC path erasures (Fixes #313) - Fixed crash when unlocking file locked by a process with a higher permission level than Eraser - Fixed blank screen when starting Eraser with --quiet and then starting another Eraser instance - Managed/unmanaged call optimisation - Fixed handling of corrupt volumes when querying a volume for information - Fixed identification of drive types - Fixed crash for users when clicking on Add Data - Better enumeration of files which is more tolerant to files which are deleted during the erase process - Better handling of direcory reparse points and more efficient directory/file enumeration processes - Ensure the validity of decoy files before using them, fixing most exceptions during erasure when decoy files are enabled - Fixed crash when importing a corrupt/old task list - Cleaner shutdown processes - Respect the Erase if Empty option when erasing directories - Allow a longer wait for the new Eraser instance to be spawned - Proper shut down when Hide when Minimised is enabled. - Display errors when opening URLs fail instead of crashing - Fixed network statistics entropy gathering: wrong function order - Fixed exception when erasing cluster tips of files which were deeted during the enumeration process - Fixed command line parsing when commas and equality signs are in the filename - Fixed certain cannot delete file/folder errors when erasing files (due to invalid filenames being generated) - Handle locked files better when erasing files - Potential fix for insufficient disk space errors when doing free disk space erasures - When copying log entries use Windows line breaks - Fixed potential double exception when erasing cluster tips - Include the internal error when throwing an exception to indicate the inability to lock a volume |
