    Outlook Express

    Oh yes! Tried it but still prefer Eudora! I`m asking for the benefit of a user who is not too hot on installing software etc! Thnx anyway!
  2. I`m not a user(much prefering Eudora),but can anyone advise if deleting OE e-mail removes any attachments received,such as doubtful images etc? I know that even in Eudora,that deleting mail and compacting the mail box can still leave images behind in WindowsXP Application Data folder for the unwary or foolish.Where would these images similarly be stored by OE,and will CCleaner remove them securely? I don`t have OE intalled now to try it out even. Thanks!

    A-squared

    One application I can really recommend from personal experience is the free version of "A-Squared" See details at: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ OK,so you have to run and update the app. manually,but it is a very welcome addtion to a PCs armoury against all those nasties out there.

    Guttman

    The correct link for the current version of "Eraser" is: http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/default.php IMHO the need for a Guttmann overwrite,or indeed any more than 3-5 overwrites maybe,on a modern HDD,is distinctly overkill.Indeed,even with the excellent "Eraser",the recommended way to remove data pretty securely,is to overwrite the files a time or two,and then erase the free space on the HDD. There are so many factors involving the secure total removal of any data involved,that it could be said to be nigh on impossible,as Windows scatters data willy nilly in all sorts of areas! What about the paging(swap) file for example? I feel that the current set up with CCleaner is very good,and if any further reassurance is required,the dilligent use of "Eraser" will more than suffice the average user.Of course,if you`ve really something to hide,a PC is not a good place to put it!
