I have a PC that I'm giving to a family freind. This PC has been used by my whole family. God knows what could be hiding in the threads. I performed a wipe and reinstalled Windows. What I really want to do is use an undelete tool to see what artifacts I might find. I've sifted through a boatload of apps and have found it almost impossible to identify a good recover tool that also allows secure delete for files that I don't want.

I know that Recuva has that feature, but I am lookin for something else that I can compare it to.

After a DBAN wipe, Recuva was able to actually recover some things?
This is not normal functionality.

Yeh, I ran boot and nuke on a 3 wipe DoD. Then I ran Recuva and did a secure wipe of some of the specific threads it found that I didn't like.
