nsane.forums Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 CCleaner hasn't seen many major revisions since Piriform launched it in 2004, but debuting today, CCleaner 3 includes some extremely useful new features that make it worth the upgrade. CCleaner 3's new drive wipe feature offers multiple levels of cleaning, and can scrub only free space as easily as your entire drive.One of the biggest is a drive-wiping tool that can wipe all the data from your hard drive, but can also scrub only the available free space. As with many of the tools in CCleaner, it's fairly nuanced and allows for a simple one-pass overwrite and three levels of secure deletion. These include a Department of Defense-level three-pass option, a National Security Administration-level seven-pass cleaning, and a 35-pass Gutmann-level deep scrub. Note that the more passes you select, the slower the deletion process. Another key improvement to CCleaner 3 has been adding more options to pre-existing features. You can now select specific Internet cookies to keep, across all your browsers, while CCleaner deletes the rest in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari. The internal scanning tech that powers CCleaner has been improved, according to Piriform, and the interface received some minor tweaks. There's also a new native installer for x64, and environment variables have been added for %SystemDirectory%, %SystemDirectory32%, and %SystemDirectory64%.Intelligent cookie control also debuts in CCleaner 3, where users can specify cookies to not delete when the others get wiped.Version 3 supports more Windows programs than before, including added support for Microsoft Silverlight Isolated Storage, AVG 2011, Audacity, LogMeIn Hamachi, BitTorrent, and Windows Game Explorer. Pre-existing support has been improved for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 beta, and the torrent managing client Vuze. In empirical testing, CCleaner 3 appeared to be marginally faster than previous versions. This is probably system-dependent, so users with older computers could likely see significantly faster scanning and cleaning times than in previous versions.

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 1, 2010 Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would like to know which app out there can recover past a 3 pass wipe.Dunno about an app. But FBI can. :P Really, the only way to wipe your information off HDD is to put in into hot lava. Even that wont make it 100% done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would like to know which app out there can recover past a 3 pass wipe.Kind of is down to when and by what program... I know R-Studio can read fairly deep.. The FBI like DK mentioned has a stereoscopic method... which goes beyond the basic functions of the read head of an HD.. that can recover data... being that a magnetic signature lays deep within the disk.. though it can be quite corrupted at that... but in some cases fully recovered.
