I love the new icon.

The new folder option is a great time-saver. Safari's cache, cookies, etc...could be easily shredded with this feature, same with other backup caching.

Speed improvements are noticeable.

Overall, the new version is consistent with the developmental pace of this security program.

BTW, while Panther's shredding capabilities are great (I'm told, since I'm still on 10.2.8), the pattern is fixed/set and the number of shreds is 7x or 8x (I think). So, there is still room for a higher level of security, imo.

It's been posted before. Here it is again. A page explaining shredding and the Gutmann Method. The link is also provided on SecretShredder's webpage.

Hey, I've got a question. Can SecretShredder be used from a CD (if the preferences were copied along with the program to a CD), so that if it accompanies a boot disk, it can do a complete shred of the entire hard drive? (I'm guessing that the preferences would be fixed/locked from the CD.)

This would be handy if one is getting rid of an old computer and wants to do a really super squeaky clean install of just the basic OS before discarding/selling the computer.
