    "Don't waste your time"

    June 10, 2007  |   By morpheus2021

    Pros

    Nothing... not usable.

    Cons

    This should not be listed under "free software". This is an extra limited trial version. This version of the software only supports one, very insecure file deletion method. After going through all the bother of creating a boot CD and rebooting the machine, then you find out you have a useless piece of software.

    Well, I couldn't have placed it better

    I totally agree, this version seems to be an advertisment for the full one and until you do , all you;ve got is an almost useless piece of software .

    by the way, I found Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") (which someone refrenced in his review around here) a lot better, and it's recommended by Cnet ,it worked excellent for me
