Please consider adding a feature to clear the pagefile. This would require a restart to complete, I think. This is offered by some of the other cleaner apps from other companies.

Thanks

You can have Windows clear the pagefile at shutdown with a simple reg tweak (in my experience it does noticeably slow down shutdown):

I'll second that, i use eraser to clear my pagefile on shutdown. I have tested this and it adds about 30-45 seconds to shutdown.

Its a waste of time as the pagefile is rebuilt by Windows at bootup.

If you choose to clear the pagefile at Shutdown then that takes 10-30 seconds longer depending on hard drive speed then bootup takes 10-30 seconds longer for Windows to allocate the space then populate its contents.

To set in eraser, open then follow edit/pref/general then just tick the box. YoKenny your right that it recreates its self but if you clear the file it re creates its self without your personal details. Your also right about the time it takes, 30-45 seconds is a tad bit to much...
