Publisher's description of BCWipe 3.06.4
From Jetico:BCWipe ensures that another person will not restore files you have deleted from a disk. It uses military-grade procedures to shred deleted file contents and wipes individual files and folders, free disk space, the swap file (to remove any possible remaining sensitive data), and directory entries. BCWipe includes a Task Manager to set up predefined times when files are to be wiped out automatically.
Version 3.06.4 fixes several minor issues.

Version: BCWipe 3.06.4
Cons: Yet another app that suffers from lazy interface design. It's also overpriced, and TeraByte Unlimited's CopyWipe is better, has more features, and is almost half the price of BCWipe.

Version: BCWipe 3.06.4
"Destroyed my Windows XP Pro machine..."
Pros: None.
Cons: I've been a programmer and system admin for 8 years, and have tweaked my PC above and beyond its limits. I know what I'm doing, and this lame piece of software totally destroyed system files essential to running XP. Piece. Of. Crap.

Version: BCWipe 3.06.4
Pros: Umm... uses the DoD.
Cons: It added two minutes to my boot time (seriously) when encrypting the swap file and initializing it with random data. It should be MUCH faster.

Version: BCWipe 3.06.4
"A top product to do what it does. There is no equivalent."
Pros: Very wide range of wiping protection. Unique (to my knowledge) low level swap file encryption (so you only need wipe it once to get rid of old data). Scheduled wipes, startup wipes, right click access. Its got everything.
The previous reviewer has obviously never used BCWipe. The program he mentions (Copywipe) is an old dos program, useful in its way, and can copy data between drives, but for wiping it cannot remotely compare with BCWipe.
Cons: Its not free! But well worth the money.
