Paranoid File Shredder 0.2

Optimus IT  ❘ Freeware
Windows
Paranoid File Shredder is not just a simple file shredder like many others out there. Its unique feature is that it does its job without you right before the monitor. Currently there are three events that raise the alert:

- Local Area Network notification
- Launch of desktop shortcut
- Pressing a hotkey

It means that when its needed you can trigger shredding action remotely from any LAN computer. And all of them will shred configured files and folders and notify connected networks also.

When the alert is raised the program removes files using DoD 5220-22.M data erasing standard. Eventually it optionally reboots the computer.
