WHAT!?!?
Okay, seriously, Windows users have enough hackers and spyware/malware distributors trying to invade our privacy as it is. We don't need crazy fem-Nazis (or moms/wives/sisters-in-law) probing around our PC's looking for incriminating materials.
For the love of God, just leave our pr0n alone and let us masturbate in peace.

The average OS doesn't actually delete a file when you tell it to, it just removes that file's entry from the file system directory, so the actual area on the disc the file occupies is able to be written over as if it was free space. The file is still there until the OS uses the space for something else, and can often still be recovered. This is why those 'secure shredder' file deletion tools exist; they work by overwriting the sectors with nonsense.AC10 said:
Anyone who uses this needs admin access to the PC in question; I imagine it's largely for computer illiterate parents, since corporate users are likely to have more sophisticated things than this available if they actually want them.RebellionXXI said:
What's with all the hubbub around simple porn-detection software? These programs exist since Win98. If you're really worried about your porn collection getting into the wrong hands (heh) just store it on an encrypted drive.
Really, next thing you guys will remember that we also have programs for detecting and blocking games, but that at leas has more to do with this community.

gee, i sure hope my secure shredding program can scramble images to a point of unrecognizably....
problem solved
also, i use truecrypt to encryt my files into a nearly impossible to crack file container. unless that thing can crack the encryption, i think i'm safe.

I could see this thing being used for blackmail. Besides, if I was a parent who used it I would be more concerned if my teenager wasn't looking up porn. Yes, I'm aware I would make a terrible parent...
