CyberScrub

[frorider6]

I just got the trial version and set it to scrub my deleted files so they can't be reaccessed. Man, that thing is wailing away at my hard drive. I can hear it! I think it's going to take a while because it's been running for 15 minutes and still says 0% complete.

Next, I'm going to have to scrub everything related to my Internet surfing. I'll post opinions on it when it's done (and if I remember too).

16 minutes to hit 1%

 

[frorider6]

25 minutes to hit 5%. I have a huge hard drive. About 11 gig.

 

[saint808]

what is it? I have like 80 gigs of HD space in this computer alone... that would take for fucking ever.

 

[AAP]

RESULTS??

Fro, is that .swf file you emailed me safe to open?

 

[saint808]

what is it? i reiterate? for a process to take that long it had better be sex as far as i am concerned.

lmao.. you were joking.. right?

 

[Code]

You have a hard drive that is roughly 11 gb?
How'd you do that?

And now-a-days, big is around 80Gb.

You can get one at Fry's for like 110 bucks.

 

[frorider6]

Fro, is that .swf file you emailed me safe to open?

Yes, it's fully safe to open. It's just a web site.

lmao.. you were joking.. right?

*hangs head in shame* Okay, so I'm not up to date on my computer shit. I guess I just remember a time when that was huge. And I'm not even that old!

Oh great now there is hard drive envy out there in geek land.

 

[saint808]

would someone tell me what it is, perchance? I feel left out of the geek club right now... and that doesn't happen much

When you delete a file, all you actually do is remove the pointer to it. The information still resides on your computer. The only way it's permenantly removed is if it's written over by new information. This product is supposed to clear out and scrub all "free space" that could still actually contain many files.

This is a great product for those of us that use a work pc.

It's just the link that supersizeme had in his thread "what's wrong".

 

[MommaKin]

damned thing...either link isn't showing working for me

 

[Trance]

How did that work? Do you have a link for the program?

I'd like to clean out my hard drive at home.

 

[frorider6]

I don't have a link. Just search for "Cyberscrub"

 

[saint808]

Doesn't linux have a program like that built in? Like it will read and erase files like 5 times?
