BCWipe 3.06
BCWipe ensures that another person will not restore files you have deleted from a disk.When you delete sensitive files from a disk on your computer, Windows does not erase the contents of these files from the disk - it only deletes 'references' to these files from filesystem tables.
Contents of the deleted file continue to be stored on the disk and can be easily recovered using any unerasing utility. BCWipe solves this problem. It uses military-grade procedures to shred deleted file contents.
BCWipe wipes individual files and folders, wipes free disk space, wipes the swap file to remove any possible remaining sensitive data, and wipes directory entries.
BCWipe includes Task Manager to set up predefined times when files are wiped out automatically. A swap file encrypting utility is included and provides ultimate protection of swap file content.
BCWipe is a shell extension for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and is highly integrated with the operating system.

· Swap file wiping. BCWipe utility has an optional switch for wiping unused portion of Windows Swap File, where the operating system can potentially store parts of files, earlier opened by applications.
· Files slacks wiping. File slack is the disk space from the end of a file up to end of the last cluster used by that file. You can turn on/off file slack wiping before running BCWipe commands.
· Directory entries wiping. Directory entry is a reserved space on a disk, where the filesystem stores names and attributes of files. Any file that has been 'deleted' by Windows, can get its name restored by unerasing utilities. BCWipe shreds directory entries so that the information cannot be recovered.

This function allows the wiping of entire hard drives which is useful where the user sells or disposes of the computer of hard disk or where the computer is re-assigned to another user.

Swap File is the Windows system file that is used for virtual memory support, and it can store parts of documents, you are working with, in an opened form on your hard drive. Even if an original document is encrypted by some powerful encryption program, Windows can copy an entire document or part of it to the Swap file in an opened form. Encryption keys, passwords, and other sensitive information can also be swapped to your hard drive. Even if you use all of the security features of the latest versions of Windows, simply investigating the Swap file in DOS mode with readily available tools may allow for significant data retrieval.
