Privacy Eraser Pro

Hey,

I pirated "Privacy Eraser Pro". There is a feature (which I am currently running and paranoid about at the same time) Which cleans your HD's freespace. I'm at 8%. APPARENTLY the program cleans your free space by filling it up with some bullshit idk what - and then deletes them - this APPARENTLY makes your disc run better. Everytime I check the disc from "my computer" the free space keeps lowering; should I be doing this /comp/, or will it hurt more than it will help?

BUMP

You do know that PEP is a virus, right?

First of all, you're a fucking moron for not doing your homework.  You should have went to www.sysinternals.com and downloaded SDelete, which does the same shit and is legally free.

Cleaning your HD's freespace will not make it "run better."  All it does is render deleted files on the disk unrecoverable.  It must do this by creating a file the exact size of the free space on the disk, writing it with random data.  This is the only way to safely insure the filesystem writes random data to unused disk space on an NTFS volume without impacting current filesystem usage under Windows.

However, this does not clean leftover directory entries in the MFT and does not clean slack space left in incompletely filled disk sectors.  SDelete and probably your program does not address this issue. 

You probably want to defrag your drive and clean temp files.  Get JKDefrag for a defragmenter and CCleaner to clean temp files.

Also, cocks.

Thanks for the help, I will take your advice on the software.

I am pretty sure the program does not create one huge file as it needs to write the space several times. I think he creates a file, deletes it and creates it again and so on?

Why would you want to erase your privacy?
