Publisher's description of Mutilate File Wiper 2.92 build 52

From Craig Christensen:

Delete your sensitive files permanently. Mutilate File Wiper is a file shredder or file eraser that prevents recovery of deleted files from your hard drive by data recovery or forensic software. Choose one of three security levels or configure a customizable level for up to 297 overwrite passes. Mutilate supports complete folder shredding including subfolders. With Mutilate's disk free space wiper, you can even use Mutilate to permanently erase previously deleted files.

Editor's review of Mutilate File Wiper 2.92 build 52

Not a comprehensive privacy program, Mutilate File Wiper completely deletes files from your computer, eliminating the chances of recovery. Its Brand X interface is compact and lined with intuitive icon buttons and a file tree for easy browsing and file/folder selection. You can choose from three security levels for overwriting files--normal, high, and intense--though the program doesn't conform to any of the well-known deletion methods. However, we did like that we could customize our own method, combining byte patterns in any number of passes to overwrite data. The batch file deletion is much appreciated for timesaving erasures, and the publisher has included a free space wiper to botch the efforts of file-recovery tools. Unfortunately, Mutilate File Wiper overlooks the need to clear up other traces on your system such as online and offline tracks. Users looking to securely delete specific files should give this one a go, although its nominal features are usually part of the package deal.

"It continually crashed, only operates smoothly on normal mode."

by jjbatchelor on March 13, 2006

Pros: It has three basic settings for wiping your harddrive and files: normal, high, and intense. The program was able to complete the normal wipe in about an hour with no problems. It is easy to use and has a nice interface.

Cons: However, I was never able to complete the intense level clean, and only 1 of 4 times was I able to complete the high level. I operate on XP and when i would check in with the progress I would be welcomed by those wierd blue screens that say it shutdown for your safety. I tried closing all programs, having a few running, staying on my computer active, etc. and nothing worked. For that reason I can't recommened it. If you are looking for a great stable and faster program look to Anti-tracks, it provides more services, quicker and with more stability!
