I am not an expert in computing, and my fear is that some day a software of this kind one day gets crazy and wipes everything in my HD; just by itself, or because I make the click to make this happen. Am I very wrong to be afraid of this? I believe this kind of software is for experienced people. Thanks.

I have a question about this software. I use CCleaner and CCleaner has a "Drive Wiper" selection in it's tools menu that will let you wipe either free space or an entire drive using 1,3,7, or 35 passes with various methods to delete free space.

I see this software can fill free space with zero's, aside from that being different in comparison to CCleaner, does it have any more to offer by comparison?

I see this software can be made into a portable version, but you can also get CCleaner as a portable version.

Adrian, No I didn't forget, my question was concerning a comparison between CCleaner's drive wiper functions and this software, I don't use the two you mentioned.

Francesco,

Yes, we should all take the word of a blogger over dozens of government agencies and hundreds of forensics organizations and an entire industry built on data recovery from erased and damaged drives.

The flaw in the article's argument is that he points out that Gutmann's paper was written in 1996 and cites the age of hard drive technology since then but doesn't acknowledge 20 years' progress of forensic technology.

Personally, I write all 1s, then all 0s, then alternating (0xA) when not doing DoD work.
