I use both CCleaner and a free program called Internet Window Washer. Window Washer has an option to automatically write over the deleted data numerous times, like a file shredder program.

To be honest with U John, they are almost the same. DCleaner doesn't have a Issues/ register cleaner. I don't care for, or use CCleaner "Issues" block anyways. DCleaner has some neat tools. If U scroll down at: http://www.dcleaner.ca/Screenshots.htm U can see them. Other than that, it's the same cleaner.

No problem. I have downloaded it and haven't had the time to try it out yet so we will be waiting to hear your conclusion.

I too liked what I read and the screenshot.

Go to options in CCleaner and set it for secure delete. You can custumize it as to your preferance.

So Kenny ? That's a thumbs down ???

Space Cowboy, DCleaner is a good cleaner. I feel CCleaner is still on top. Heck with over Over 14 million downloads what can U say? DCleaner and CCleaner (notice the names) is almost a copy cat of each other.

i just saw list posted by cgesicki

http://visopsys.org/partlogic/

freeware - whuch talks about
Quote:
It is intended to become a free alternative to such commercial programs as Partition Magic, Drive Image, and Norton Ghost...
Often on these forums people want to upgrade there hardrive and make it the boot drive
will this do this - so a 40GB system HDD can be copied onto a new 120GB HDD and made system with losing data, programs, drivers etc.

anyone used it

I'm not sure I'd trust PartLogic just yet, though it will be nice if it continues to be developed. When I'm putting all the data at risk, I like a proven product doing the manipulations.

I did, I looked at the web page, and read the version description, and decided it wasn't for me.

WinAudit v2.07 - Free Auditing for Windows® based Computers.

http://www.pxserver.com/WinAudit.htm

Quote:
WinAudit is free, you can use it in your commercial applications and distribute it freely to anyone. The programme works on Windows® 95 and newer and requires neither installation nor configuration. Its small size enables it to run from a floppy disk or USB drive. WinAudit can create formatted emails so you can get an audit of just about any Windows® based personal computer.
Nice little program. Just the one file you download and click on to run it.
I made a folder for it still and save a copy of my scan in it too.
Plus after I used it it made a WinAudit.ini file in the same folder but that is just for the changes you make in the options and can be deleted and it will only be made again if you change any of the option settings.

Are you collecting these Spams in a folder ??
I just got through reporting 41 spam emails sent to the address that I use only for this forum ... to an abuse address in China.
Anyway ... All these spams were from Misconfigured Senders.

So - May I add ...
Is there any spam blocking programs that will block emails from a Misconfigured Senders ?
