| | RE: is there a free space wiping utility that works with vista? Yes. You have several options availible: nCleaner (http://www.nkprod.ro/ncleaner/) -will shred free space to get rid of files you may have deleted before getting the shredder -will get rid of tracks that alot of software leaves -and it's free! (as long as you are not using it for commercial purposes) File Shredder (my, what a creative name http://www.fileshredder.org/)-will do everything that nCleaner does except getting rid of tracks but has a slightly unappealing interface -has five different levels of wiping There are many different options, but these two are my favorite. If you want anything else try going to http://www.freewarefiles.com and searching for shredder |
