WinShredder 2.0 deletes index.dat!
Index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser. The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs as long as Windows is active. It functions as a repository of redundant information, such as web URLs, search queries, and recently opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing" stores the contents of a database in a different order to help speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer history, cache?
Why do you need WinShredder?
Because your Windows Recycle bin only deletes the file that you see ... not the actual data on your harddrive. However, until the file location on your hard disk is overwritten many times, the files can be completely recovered using many available computer programs, or even simple computer commands. Deleted files are the first thing hackers, privacy thiefs, and other computer experts look for when they are trying to recover sensitive information from your computer or discarded disks. Employers routinely search for 'deleted' files to discover information about employees.

Key Features of the Winshredder 2.0
- Unlimited Shredding
Most competitor products limit the user to only 1, or to a fixed number of data wipes when shredding. WinShredder permits an UNLIMITED number of data wipes. Want to shred that file 10000 times? No problem! - Unlimited 'Do Not Shred' Folder Locations
A serious flaw in most competitor products is the inability to protect important folders from accidental shredding. This disastrous problem is solved with WinShredder. WinShredder permits an unlimited number of 'Do Not Shred' folder locations to be defined, protecting them from accidental shredding. - Drag and Drop to the Desktop Trashcan
WinShredder supports all Windows drag and drop features. You can Shred files or folders simply by dragging them to the desktop WinShredder Trashcan. - True Windows Explorer Integration (Right mouse-click menu integration)
WinShredder integrates with all versions of the Windows operating system and appears as a new 'Delete with WinShredder' menu option, complete with icon, when right mouse-clicking on a file or folder. - Optional Instant Shredding
Turn on the 'Instant Shred' option and you can start the shred process instantly just by dragging files to the desktop WinShredder trash can. - No 'lock-ups' while Shredding
Many competitor products lock up your computer while they are shredding files. While they are shredding files, you cannot move your mouse or open another program, or, your mouse is jerky and intermittent. Not WinShredder! You can continue to work while shredding is underway, seamlessly and smoothly.
