    At a bookstore the other day, I saw a book entitled "Sex for Dummies." Why would someone want to teach dumb people how to reproduce? Aren't there enough of them now?

    No one said anything about not "moving forward", I was simply saying I haven't seen that username in what seems years.

    About moving forward, I stay in drive, always going forward.

    Deleted files remain on your computer after a reformat.....and can be retrived by anyone wanting to know your personal data......

    Delete files does NOT mean erased files.....

    cyberscrub..will..Erase, Delete, Wipe, Overwrite and Encrypt your Sensitive Data

    i believe u would have to partition the drive several times to completely erase all info on that drive.
    no info at that point would be retrieveable. why pay for software when u have the tools at ur disposal?

    EE is one of the best out there. Cyberscrub and EE perform the same type of functions, but I feel EE provides more usability and ease of configuring.

    no offense but to clean your pc if its infected bad you have to go into the registry editor and manually remove them .Some BOs and other malware can be a biatch to remove. If it is infected real bad ,back up data to another drive and reformat it for best results

    Don't sweat, PurpleLaceTeddy. The reality of the fact is that, unless you're facing a federal investigation for terrorism or child porn, a simple low-level format will take care of anything your local or state police have to offer. Unless they know specifically what files they're looking for, sizes, headers, etc, they really can't find anything once it's overwritten by other junk.
    Now, older hard drives (pre-1995) took up a lot more physical space to write to the disks, and the heads weren't as accurate as they are now. Nowadays, nothing short of multi-million dollar equipment will be able to find the infinitesmally tiny traces left from jitter. But they'de sure like you to keep on believing in their omnicient power to read your old data, because it makes their jobs easier.

    You aren't a terrorist, are you?

    edit: Listen to the Goons over at SomethingAwful:

    The thread is about the jerkoff who shot up that church, but the subject of data encryption/deletion/overwriting came up.

    I like another method. I buy new hard drives every two years and sledgehammer the old ones before I put them in a dumpster. That should work. I mean if you felt you were up for an investigation or a controlled delivery how hard would it be to yank the thing out and smash it to peices on a concrete floor?


    Hard drives are relatively cheap now days, alot cheaper then the products we are using.

    Nothing will ever be erased from your HDD no matter what these Software Vendors Claim. You're only suitable option is to have a spare HDD with just the Windows OS installed, get in trouble, swap them out.

    not correct. forensics can at increasing costs recover up to the 7th layer of previously overwritten/deleted data. What these programs do is fill the disk with random data 8 or more times. Making it prohibitively expensive to do anything about it.

    regardless of this it takes awhile to do (unless you have one of those NSA certified degaussing tools).

    store your data on an encrypted disk in the first place.

    You didnt prove me wrong, but rather correct. If they want to, they will recover what was on your HDD.

    read it again.

    there's a definite physical limit to what they can recover - currently that is 7 or 8 overwrites.

    as you approach that limit it becomes prohibitively expensive. once you pass that limit it becomes impossible

    MMMM i have to disagreee with u purple..

    I have heard from a reliable source, and there was a whole report done on this on 60 min. cause of kiddie porn. The only sure way of being safe in this situation is going out and spendind 100 buks on a new hd.
    I heard that even if u burn the fuken thing and whats on there is really valuable theylle still get u.

    If i had incriminating things on my HD i would not risk it......
