    If you use Windows BitLocker, do you need Eraser anymore?

    Does anyone know of any recovery programs that Eraser effectively blocks that program from recovering my data (preferable one that works while using Windows)? It should also be effective at recovering data when I don't use Eraser to shred a file. Basically just want something for testing. A...

    Most people use the Erase Recycle Bin option when emptying the Recycle Bin with Eraser. But the latest version has many options and I have seen some posts about them. But I wanted to ask 2 questions about it regarding passes. 1. Erase Recycle Bin does a single pass erase. But the default...
