"Still good"
For admin account I still prefer Eraser. But as there are some problems under normal user accounts, I use Freeraser for those.

"Admin Response"
Users abused the system and now all reviews go to a queue prior to being posted.
The only thing we are hiding are idiotic comments posted by those who are not responsible enough to use an open review system.

"fsdf"
trying to see reviews,, you shouldn't have to do this first just to see the reviews, and you shouldn't have to review the reviews.. makes you wonder what you are hiding.

"Also don't trust it"
If an "IT administrator" didn't notice the problems so many other users did, that speaks volumes of the IT administrator, not the other users. This is true because the Eraser author (and I use the term "author" very loosely, he's more a "maintainer", not even that) admitted to the severe bug that was mentioned, and corrected it.
I rate a "1" because I don't trust it, never will.

"Excellent program"
I have been using Eraser for a number of years now. The only problem I ran into was only version 5.86 and above work with Vista. Other than that it is a great program.

"Still the best Wiping Tool"
I didn't experience any of the problems some users describe in here. And I really tested it to the most extent, because I am an IT administrator and have Erase in daily usage on different machines. It works always perfect - and it's faster than all other similar tools I know. Also nice is that it gives you detailed logs of what it actually does and shows options for also deleting additional file traces (cluster tips & alternate streams), which is especially useful when you are, for example, in the situation to remove certain viruses who hide in alternate file streams. But the best thing about Eraser is that it's free!

"Not reliable"
Eraser used to be a solid utility. Now I don't trust it, and probably never will again. I've read MANY reports of recent versions corrupting files when it shouldn't, during free space wiping operations. Shame.

"Could be good!"
Really erases!
Erases too much!
If they fix the bug that keeps it from erasing critical system files in ADDITION to wiping free space, it will be an excellent too.
Good program, just erases too much!

"Never, ever again..."
After the fiasco in which Erase 5.8 destroyed valid files when it was only supposed to wipe free space, I'll never trust it again. The author only bothers to update it in order to spur a few extra donations.

"version 5.8.5 ???"
I downloaded this version 5.8.5 and tried to install. Gave me an error. I wonder why I can download it here, whereas on the developers website version 5.8.5 is not yet available. It's still 5.8.4 and the filesize of the 5.8.5 is under 600kB, but the 5.8.4 version has over 7mb. So something's wrong here or is this just an update to install over the old version???

"What a joke!"
Wouldn't even install on my totally-clean WinXP install under VMware. That Heidi guy wanted donations so bad, he pretended to take over the Eraser project in hopes of getting them--and then let Eraser sit for years with hardly a change (but many added bugs).
