    I've tested it on every kind of medium on which it is usable and used many different "unerasers" or "undeleters" and...absolutely nothing left - not even God will know the contents of that old and Fire Shreddered file, ever!

    ErAce is software that will over write the hard drive 1-100 times. So it fullfills the strictest security standards i.e. DOD 5220.22-M. In that way it is impossible to recover data.
