iShred provides an interface to the "SRM" or secure delete function.

iShred is a front end to the Unix "srm" command. As far as what it does, the man page for "srm" sums it up best...

srm removes each specified file by overwriting, renaming, and truncating it before unlinking. This prevents other people from undeleting or recovering any information about the file from the command line.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. FILES DELETED WITH THIS PROGRAM ARE NOT RECOVERABLE, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

What's New:
added option to skip warning panel on launch
added option to use the 35 pass Gutmann method
remember previous settings
now uses brushed metal texture (I think it looks cooler).
