Hats off to these Piriform guys. Ever since Norton lost it's way on this type of utility there's really been no other solution out there that does what it does and at relatively low risk. Registry Booster was promising back in the day but that cluster turned into a real hack-job pretty quickly.
Keep up the good work guys, even if you are under appreciated.

...wiping feature looks really promising. I've been looking for a way to wipe drives securely while in an OS as opposed to a DOS wiping utility (such as Boot & Nuke).
