mcSanitizer is an ActiveX Control that will completely erase the contents of sensitive files and documents that you specify. Normal file deletion only removes a fileÆs directory entry, but leaves the data contained in the file on your disk drive. mcSanitizer completely overwrites the contents of a file, then renames it and then deletes it.
mcSanitizer has the NSA approved seven-pass file erasure method. For normal file deletion operations a two-pass method should be sufficient, but if you want to thoroughly erase a fileÆs contents before deleting it the NSA approved method may be used.
Files and documents sanitized with mcSanitizer can not be recovered using an undelete program. The purpose of mcSanitizer is to completely remove sensitive files and their contents from you disk drive. Once a file has been sanitized it can not be recovered using sophisticated file restoration utilities.
mcSanitizer respects the DOD 5220.22-M directive for sanitizing a file on a Non-Removable Rigid Disk or a Removable Rigid Disk.
mcSanitizer can be configured to write informations directly to the disk without using the cache (better security but lower speed).
See the file mcSanitizer.htm for more informations.
