Re: Preferred RootKit detection/removal tool?

Thank you. For instance, a DOD wipe is done before a clean installation for
better safety and security. I would imagine, the only true safety on a drive
is to perform this and then totally annihilate the hard drive if it contains
classified and/or sensitive information.

Wipe is "cleaner" than format, and reload is dependent on

Steve and Robear, I was wondering if that was as clean as a format and
clean
install or is my wording just different and means the same thing. <?>
