Such as the [`dd`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29) command, is a tool to convert and copy files, but running `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M` will quickly overwrite the whole disk with zeros. Or [badblocks](https://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks) which is intended to search for all bad blocks, but can also be used to write zeros to a disk, by running `sudo badblocks -wsv /dev/sdd`. An effective method of erasing an SSD, it to use [hdparm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdparm) to issue a [secure erase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA#HDD_passwords_and_security) command, to your target storage device, for this, see step-by-step instructions via: [wiki.kernel.org](https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase). Finally, `[srm](https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-srm/)` can be use to securely remove files or directories, just run `srm -zsv /path/to/file` for a single pass over.

[VMWare](https://www.vmware.com/) is popular in the enterprise world, it is not open source, and although there is a free version, a license is required to access all features. VMWare perfoms very well when running on a server, with hundreds of hosts and users. For Mac users, [Parallels](https://www.parallels.com/uk/) is a popular option which performs really well, but again is not open source. For Windows users, there's [Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v), which is a native Windows product, developed by Microsoft.

Many anti virus products have a history of introducing vulnerabilities themselves, and several of them seriously degrade the performance of your computer, as well as decrease your privacy. Never use a free anti-virus, and never trust the companies that offer free solutions, even if you pay for the premium package. This includes (but not limited to) Avast, AVG, McAfee and Kasperky. For AV to be effective, it needs intermate access to all areas of your PC, so it is important to go with a trusted vendor, and monitor it's activity closely. Read more about why you shouldn't use [Anti-Spy Tools, on Windows](https://as93.link/gjlj4).
