HOW TO INSTALL & UNINSTALL

SETUP.EXE is a self-extracting executable containing the program
files.

Run SETUP.EXE to install Eraser. The setup program will extract
the files and copy them to a desired location. You can uninstall
Eraser normally via Control Panel.

Eraser requires MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL (you can download them
at Eraser home page).

BEFORE INSTALLING

Be sure to uninstall any previous version of Eraser before
installing.


DESCRIPTION

Eraser is a powerful file wiping utility that securely removes
sensitive data from your hard drive.

By default Eraser overwrites files several times with carefully
selected patterns which effectively remove the magnetic
remanence from the hard disk making it virtually impossible to
recover the data.

For faster (and less effective) file erasing, Eraser also
supports a method defined in the National Industrial Security
Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defense.

There is also an option to overwrite only with pseudo-random
data.
