These records are for your benefit, and you can always clean them up.
What's "not fair" about that? This sort of scare-mongering is annoying.

Your family, yes, unless you clean it up. As a parent, to me this is a
feature. Do the "authorities" have routine access to your computer?
They don't to mine.

Bull. For most people, simply deleting files is fine. If you really
need to wipe your files so they're safe from semi-serious forensic
retrieval, there are many good free packages. If you really need to
wipe your files so they're safe from any retrieval, I suggest a
blowtorch applied to the hard drive.
The company that makes Evidence Eliminator:
1. Spams newsgroups
2. Attacks anyone who criticizes them
3. Does not offer source code so that users can verify that the
software does what it says it does (for security-related software this
is critically important).
4. Spreads fear, uncertainty and doubt
This is not the sort of organization that I care to do business with.
How about you?
Shawn.
