Hi Nergal, am hoping we can continue our "talk" here: would like to say first of all, if the "HD Blanking" utility cannot be used, then why is it in the CC Cleaner inventory?
You said that an (installed) CC Cleaner cannot wipe the HD because then CC Cleaner would have to wipe itself also, but what about a partitioned HD? Why cannot it wipe a partition that it is not located in?
Same goes for "CC Portable": why cannot CC Portable in a USB Drive be used to erase a HD through the USB system (the Portable CC Cleaner is not located anywhere on the HD).
One more question: have been reading on the Web about Index Data Files on Microsoft systems and there is a heck of a lot of paranoia on the Web about these files!!! There are lots of people trying to find ways and utilities that can get rid of these files, and CC Cleaner almost always gets mentioned as a good way to get rid of some Index Data files, but only some (the general concensus is to employ several utilities that can get rid of "X" amount of Index Data Files in the hope that between them they can eradicate most of them, but there are lots of conflicting views on what utilities should be used).
Is CC Cleaner planning to increase it's Index Data File removal capabilities (?) because there seems to be a real need for a single utility than can safely get rid of these things (I have experimented with a lot of the other utilities/scanners and have found most of them to be very unintuitively designed, and usually completely ineffective as well, with lousy "Help" sections too. Some can do stuff like erase things you don't want them to also).
Someone on the Web said that Index Data Files only get created by Internet Explorer use, and not by Firefox or Opera. Is this true?
If you see these questions Nergal, hope you don't mind posting a reply. Cheers!
