BCWipe features:
* BCWipe v.3 allows you to wipe data using predefined DoD 5200.28-STD and Peter Gutmann wiping schemes and now includes the Wiping Scheme Editor utility to view and edit the number of wiping passes as well as binary patterns used in every pass.

* Automatic wiping of Recently Used Files List. You can configure BCWipe Task Manager to remove all references to recently used files or only those in applications that you specify. For example, you can configure BCWipe to clear the list of recently opened MS Word documents. If another user opens Word the list of recently used files that normally appears in the File Menu will be empty. This is a useful feature in workgroups where sensitive accounting or personal information may be accessed.
* Wipe Special System Folders at Start Up. Windows creates Special System Folders for storing temporary Internet files, cookies and so on. Such folders can't be deleted or wiped in the usual way, because the operating system keeps them locked. You can configure BCWipe Task Manager to automatically wipe selected folders when they are not locked, i.e. when Windows starts up.

At that time the system copies all the data stored in RAM, including opened critical documents, to the Hibernation File. To avoid a possible security leak you can configure BCWipe to wipe the Hibernation File regularly.
