Flash Wiper

In the universe there is darkness and light, good and bad, fire and water. In the software world there are applications that do one thing, and applications that do the exact opposite. If you for example delete a file, there are applications that will bring that file back to life – these applications are generally called data recovery tools. There are also applications that will prevent data recovery tools from doing their jobs. These applications will ensure that file remains deleted.

Software developer PANTERASoft has two applications that perfectly fit into the example presented above: Flash File Recovery and Flash Wiper.

With Flash File Recovery you can recover accidentally deleted photos and videos from flash drives, recover images from formatted, damaged, corrupted (unreadable), or defective storage media, and salvage pictures from damaged or corrupted flash drives and memory sticks.

With Flash Wipe you can do the opposite. By using this application you can securely delete data stored on flash cards and flash drives. The application provides support for Compact Flash, Secure Digital, MemoryStick, MicroDrive, xD Picture Card Flash Card, PC Card, Multimedia Card, pen drives, and so on.

Before you get Flash Wiper and put it to the test, take a glance at these technical details:
Download – the download weighs in at less than 1MB. Even on a less than spectacular internet connection, downloading 1MB off the web takes very little time.
Installation - installing Flash Wiper on your Windows-powered PC is straightforward process that will go along smoothly. At the time of writing this and according to the app’s developer, Flash File Recovery provides support for Windows 9x/NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista.
Limitations - Flash Wiper is free to try; this means the trial version will not erase an entire drive, it will only erase the first 256 sectors.
