What it is
east-tec Eraser is Windows software for erasing files with selectable methods, verification, and erasure reports. Listed methods include DoD 5220.22-M, GOST P50739-95, VSITR, the Bruce Schneier Algorithm, and the Peter Gutmann method. Verification provides a way to check the operation, while reports provide a record of the erasure. The Eraser Plan costs $39.95 a year, billed per year, and includes one year of free updates and support. A 15-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The product is therefore a paid Windows tool with an annual plan and a file-focused scope. Users can choose among the named algorithms and review the resulting verification and report information.
