Understand the need to list other available freeware. Do not understand the offering-up of these freeware programs in such a manner as to appear to belitte Paragon Software. I am a forensic scientest...yes, with computers...Paragon makes some of the greatest pieces of software...much of it approved by the DoD for their computers (Department of Defense)...this is a great piece of software. Thanks for the "free" offering, but let's recall we are checking out the product...so, if you offer the free stuff, how about checking out what GOTD has up at the plate first?!

Skip the silliness, download a free, small utility (includes bootable .ISO), based on research sponsored by the NSA, NIST-approved, includes lots of interesting documentation, uses your drive hardware to perform the Secure Erase or NIST 800-88 Enhanced Secure Erase (ATA, SATA, maybe SCSI drives). Note--the Q & A document is outdated, the other documentation is more current. More secure than any software overwrite methods (and much quicker). If you need other drivers to access your drive (external, etc.), you should be able to use a WinPE, etc., boot disk. Not for use from within Windows.

Hi,as always with Paragon Software-First Class,my only question Is why Is the download size 64.7mb If all this program does Is wipe hard-drive Information,especially since the other disk wiping software that has been given away recently was no were near this size.

What a disappointment this download was. I was thinking I must be getting the best, most complete program available so I did not mind giving up my email address to get the registration. Wow, what a disappointment.

First, after the successful registration of the program I was instructed to go through the Wizard and choose which type of wipe I wanted. Two choices here, 1. a complete wipe of the drive, or 2. a free space wipe. I chose the free space wipe and clicked "Next" then more dialog boxes of instructions and finally I get to the end and think I am going to see the program go to work. Well, it does go to work for about 20 seconds then tells me it has to reboot and it will run in the boot mode and I should not turn off my computer.

So, fine it's night here I will let it run. I clicked okay and the computer rebooted. I watched all my programs reboot and there was nothing from Paragon. So, I went back into the program and followed the steps again, it rebooted and nothing happened again. So, I checked the Process Manager and there was nothing running from Paragon.

What a waste of time. And now Paragon has my email to send me junk mail. I will never download another Paragon program. But thanks GAOTD for offering it.
