I'm looking for a good file destroyer/wiper/shredder after PGP has been causing me problems. I have read a comparison of various different pieces of software, but it is a very old comparison and as such, is not really relevant. What it has shown me is that not all wipers do the same things, as such I want one that does everything. • Destroys files • Destroys directories • Filenames destroyed • Destroys free space • When destroying free space, old filenames are overwritten • Destroys slack space when destroying free space • Wipe Windows swapfile option. Is there anything else they can do that isn't on that list? Also, is there a way of knowing just how strong the method of wiping is and also how many passes the security increases to. So finally, does anyone have any suggestions of software that does all those things?

Drive manufactures Low Level Format procedure ran 20 times? Followed by 5 lb. of C5 over an active volcano.

I would also be interested in this.
