Free PC Cleaners

I use a laptop for business purposes for about three years, then gift them to my kids/grandkids. But since I've had personal information from my clients on the machine, I am very careful to wipe the disk before giving it to them. I don't need it getting stolen from one of my grandkids and having someone read the hard drive and get personal information or credit card numbers.

I use a program called "WipeDrive" in order to do multiple passes over the drive and obliterate the data. Just deleting data will not remove it from the disk. WipeDrive is DOD compliant.
