"Easy to use and functional"
Version: R-Wipe&Clean 9.3 build 1639
Pros
Simple to install and run and it works.
Cons
The user interface is a little poky / un-natural for my liking but I am a software developer in a different category of software so it may just be personal preference.
Summary
I reviewed the 9.0 release of this software and only gave it three stars since it took so long to scrub my machine (I think it was something like 11 hours), but since writing that review I found that I had problems with the RAID0 setup on my computer that was severely degrading disk performance. Now I can safely say the performance issue was hardware and not software. R-Wipe & Clean is a good solution for you if you need to clean a machine (for example to get rid of data before you return a loan laptop) of un-wanted bits. I've verfied that it works using other 3rd party file recovery software. I run R-Wipe and Clean on a Windows 7 x64 (64-bit) box, with RAID0. I recommend it as a capable application that does what it says it does and is well worth the money, especially since dot releases (e.g., 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 etc) are included in the original purchase price. I was lucky to buy at version 9.0.

"Did something very strange to my computer"
Version: R-Wipe&Clean 9.2 build 1628
Pros
I cannot think of any
Cons
After deleting selected files it asked me to restart which I did, once I had I logged in as usual but the screen was black and I could do nothing at all. After several restarts I had to do a full system restore which worked, thank god.
Summary
After deleting selected files it asked me to restart which I did, once I had I logged in as usual but the screen was black and I could do nothing at all. After several restarts I had to do a full system restore which worked, thank god. I emailed the publisher who replied very promptly saying that the programme could not have caused the fault, however, my Dell has always worked perfectly up until this point and it seems too much of a coincidence that it should decide to do it once I restart. I wont be using the programme again just to be on the safe side..

"Never Pay For Software!"
Version: R-Wipe&Clean 9.0 build 1595
Pros
This program is great, But stick with freeware!
Cons
It shouldn't cost you any money to clean your computer, I hate trialware!
Summary
R-Wipe & Clean is an excellent software, But there are still freeware cleaners that do a pretty decent job as well so why pay? CCleaner, ATF Cleaner are both still free to use. Call me a tightwad or a cheapskate i don't care i just refuse to pay for software these days, In past times i would pay for software only to find out months later there was free programs that did the samething. After spending 40-60 bucks on firewalls, antivirus, registry cleaners etc. You learn after a while to save your money. I do understand though that software companies have to make their money, But not off of me won't.
