Well at least the post on the previous page is topical. I couldn’t find any independent reviews for the shilled product online. A year ago, it was listed in PC World’s download section. It’s trialware: the full version costs $50.

It has a lot of useful utilities, including shred. For serious use, I would try a product that has been tested and reviewed.
