Why use McAfee Shredder for removing files and folders?

For providing continuous protection to the devices and the computer network these devices are connected to, McAfee has become a reputed name in the online security domain. Different McAfee security solutions that consumers and businesses use nowadays can efficiently fight against the viruses and avoid their occurrence on a PC or mobile phone.

All you need to do is choose a right security solution from the McAfee product portfolio at mcafee.com/activate. Apart from protecting your devices, McAfee also takes care that no file occupies unnecessary storage on your device. McAfee Shredder is the program that takes care of the complete removal of the files you want to delete.

It works better than the normal delete in a manner that when you remove a file ordinarily, it doesn’t get deleted permanently. In other words, the residual files still remain stored in the background. The McAfee Shredder comes up as a part of the McAfee Security Suite, which means you don’t need to install it separately.

1.       Double-click the installed McAfee software, which is McAfee Security Suite
