Eraser Reviews

It appears I was incorrect that ERASER ruined my XP System. It takes days for Eraser to finish erasing the free disk space. During that time I installed NERO-2010. Nero 2010 installs updates without checking that XP has newer versions (from windows update). This ruined .NET and get Windows Update in a mess. I restored my last Acronis backup, and when I installed NERO, all the .NET problems started happening again. Now, I do find it disturbing to find eraser leaves thousands of error messages about files that it could not open. It seems Eraser is not satisified with erasing the free disk space, but also tries to open every file on the disk to erase unused portions of these files. I think this is totally wasteful and useless and potentially dangerous. I wish eraser had an option to NOT do this.

I just love that program... It even worked under Wine, on Linux!

Eraser 6.0.7 consumes 600MB of RAM on m Windows 7 64-bit system and constantly crashes before it erases the files. It also slows the computer down a lot more then previous versions did and does it's job slower as well.

Version 6 of Eraser consistently crashed on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I could not even create a scheduled event because Eraser would crash faster than I could select the time to run the schedule (click the boxes for the days of the week, select a time, then tell it which folder to erase). Windows tried to give it certain compatibility options to make it run but it still crashed. I do not recommend this program.

Under Xp (not the latest update), Windows lost the ability to move or delete files (by any means other than DOS prompt). Presumably something related to the shell extention. On the other hand: when uninstalled, everything was fine -- No Permanent Damage. Sounds like it would be very nice, if it could run.

Version 5 is much better. Why Version 6 becomes memory resident after deleting files??? Why there is more level to run in explorer shell?

All 6 versions did not run on my XP Pro SP3. Disappointed and had to uninstal.

good

nice i can delete my data more and more sercure

It does what it says on the tin, easy to use, good features.

Easy to use yet very complete in regards to both general and overwriting preferences . Excellent!

Please can the Developers junk the useless and hated V.6 and just improve the already excellent V.5. V.6 is a lost and pointlessly expensive waste of time. No one wants it. V.5 was, and still is after all these years, a gem. Everyone I know uses V.5. Please, consider tweaking V.5 to be a bit more 2014 and just shoot the lame duck V.6.

A most excellent program.
