Hello,

I am getting rid of my old PC. To ensure that malicious individuals can't steal my personal info I would like to wipe by hard drive. I understand I can reformat it or smash it to bits with a great big hammer, but I wondered whether there were any scrubbers or other utilities which might do the job?

Any assiatnce would be great.

Thanks

Antony

Use the autonuke option, as an added precaution you could run it as often as you like until you sell it
