These programs and the end result they give is always a matter of opinion,
but eraser is an excellent free product that far exceeds the government 7
wipes standard. Eraser works on all the windows operating systems and can
go as high as 35 wipes and will wipe slack space, directory entries, master
file table entries, and still gives the option of user defined parameters.
