If you believe that writing over a file once will not protect you, then these files that the OS deleted - or you deleted using the delete command which now have other files written on top of them WILL BE RECOVERABLE and wiping free space a million times will still allow someone to read the deleted file using forensic techneques. The fact of the matter is, in everyday use, files get spread all over the place on your HD so it is inevitable that there will be sectors on your HD that did have files on which have been deleted by the OS, that now have other files written on them. All disk cleaners / wipers (call them what you want) can overwrite files loads of times to suposedly ensure it can be read again. Many people claim it is necessary to "wipe" files by writing over them several times as they argue that if a file is written over just once, it can be read using special techneques. No other cleaner out there will underwrite files or randomise the all the creation / edited date / time data on files. They did and probably still do use pathetic / questionable marketing techneques, but the product is the best in my opinion.ĮE does pretty much everything to cover your tracks. It amases me that so called security experts knock it when it is by far and away the best cleaner out there. I see no one in the least security aware here. You click toolbar buttons and menu items and count the features. Sure winner bet: not a one of you even knows the basics of shredding, not a one understands the basics of magnetic media. It certainly beats hanging about here and blowing hot air. Read this or read that for someone else's opinion? Have any of you done the research yourselves? It doesn't take more than a day or two. Instead of fumbling around in the dark and citing what other people think why don't you go out and form opinions yourself? There's nothing wrong with starting a thread to get answers or clues to questions - but the rest of you: you don't know any more - obviously - and yet you're offering your wisdom to an unwitting poster who trusts you and doesn't know any better. Appears? How 'appears'? Did you run a disk sector editor? Use an oscilloscope? What exactly did you use?
