Seriously though. I find Evidence Eliminator a very useful program for getting rid of files, registry values and such. It's got a 30 day trial so it's worth taking a look at.

Thats snake oil dude, I have tested it extensively and have had no problems recovering files after a "secure wipe". I was very careful in setting all the options to 'maximum' so to speak.

There are free alternatives that do a better job, e.g eraser.

i just saw an advice column on MSN.COM of all places, recommending that you take the proper steps to truly erase all your data before giving/tossing a hard drive away.
