. Several programs are available which will repeatedly overwrite unused disk space, including unused directory entries, insuring deleted data remains unrecoverable. Some even meet Dept of Defence standards PW I've been using this program for about 3 years with very good results. Ed BCWipe v2.31 Need to remove sensitive data from your computer? Many people don't realize that deleting a file doesn't actually erase it; it just removes references to its location on your system. The file can usually be restored with a good disk tool. When you have to make sure all traces of a file are really gone, you need a program like BCWipe. This tool hooks into the Explorer right-click context menu to enable you to get rid of data permanently. Files and folders can be wiped clean and deleted with just a few clicks. Two main modes of wiping are provided: Normal standard wiping (in which you may define the number of passes) and U.S. Department of Defense seven-pass, extended-character, rotation wiping. BCWipe also lets you clean all free space on your hard drive(s), shred the contents of the Windows swap file, and view a file before you remove it. Reviewed on Nov 03 1999 hotfiles.zdnet.com
