Disk investigator

[realbigal]

Hello all

 

After running CCleaner and then running Disk investigator (http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html). I do a search with Disk Investigator on a site that I frequent in this case ( flickr) there is a surf trail left behind. How do I delete that trail?

 

Thank You

Open CCleaner, go to Options, then Settings, scroll down and mark the dot that says Secure File Deletion, then choose an overwrite method but this will make it longer for CCleaner to complete the cleaning process.

That might make CCleaner take way longer to complete the cleaning process. Try doing 3 passes or 7 passes first and see if any trails remain. Good luck.

 

Are you saying that you already have the 35 passes option enabled and still browsing trails remain???

Yes I do have trails remaining, if you download the Disk Investigator ( the url is in my initial post ) it is a very small program, and try the search option and look for a site that you frequently visit , and see if you have any trails, after running CCleaner. It would be interesting.

that's because the second program is looking at the DAT files. After Ccleaner cleans DAT files the computer must be restarted. Feel free to come back if trails are still seen after ccleaner cleans and computer restarts.

 

If they are also list what browser it is you are using

 

 

 

Also I had a looks and disk investigator is a recovery program, ccleaner is not a security program, and does not claim to be one and thus yes, you'll be able to recover stuff with it there's plenty of talk from the "Advanced Members" here about the multipass being useless and what not

Maybe you should look at this topic.

Thank you for your response

 

My browser is internet explorer 7 I have reduced the number of write over to 7, I have also have done secure delete from Recuva in advanced mode, I have also run Clean disk Security with 7 over writes, and then have restarted my pc and they are still there, the only thing that I have not done is deep scan from recuva.
