McAfee Internet Security’s Shared Features

McAfee Shredder allows you to shred files on your PC’s Recycle Bin, Temporary Internet, as well as Web site history folder. You can also specify the number of shredding passes (1-99) and can now have the option to shred an entire drive.

TIP

If your computer is running on Windows Me, some files even if shred, may be retained on your PC since these are protected by the Windows Me System Restore.

Refer to the online Help file to display step-by-step instructions on how to shred selected files and non-file data.

WARNING

After you shred non-file data, you will not be able to undelete any deleted files that utilized this information.
