Simple File Shredder
Simple File Shredder is a utility that securely deletes your files so they can’t be restored using recovery software. When you delete a file using the conventional Windows delete method, the file is not actually destroyed. Windows simply acknowledges the file is no longer needed and considers it free space. The deleted file will exist in a recoverable state until it’s over-written with other data. When you use Simple File Shredder to shred a file, the file is over-written with with random bytes before it’s deleted. If the file was ever restored using recovery software, it would be worthless. Simple File Shredder v3 provides a new fully customizable System Shredder. Using the System Shredder, you can easily group browser cache, cookie, and history files to be located and shredded.

I don't know, SC.......looking at the 'Bugs and problems' page at that site, it looks like that app is at best a beta and maybe even an alpha release.

Yes - been using free version of SuperAntiSpyware for quite a while now - seems to be a good freebie.
