How about a program like evidence eraser? From what i read about it, it
overwrites internet history files as well as other files you want erased,
then shreds them. Anyone know anything about this program? would it work?

Hello Bill,

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that securely
wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and
completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which
makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of
preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to
totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN
prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic
analysis.

Good luck
