Handy Bits File Shredder
Information is power, they say, and what is hidden on an old hard drive can be worth its weight in gold to a new owner. You might think that simply marking a file and deleting it is enough to make it gone forever, but in that case, you’d be wrong. Shredder not only deletes the file but overwrites it up to 15 times with random data making it impossible to recover the file. For better or for worse, of course.

MyDefrag
When you save a file on a hard drive, it is distributed among free segments on the hard drive. The more you save down and delete files, the more the files will be split up. This results in longer loading times because the read head on the hard drive is forced to search longer for all parts of the file. A disk defragmenter puts all parts of the file one after the other, which speeds up file handling considerably. MyDefrag does that and much more in an easy and fast way.
