I haven?t tested it, but I like the simplicity of interface for this one: http://freeraser.en.softonic.com/ I liked Heidi a while back, but they seem to have taken away a lot of helpful functionality in the 6+ version. (Plus I have stability problems with 6+ on windows 7). I have the same reaction to version 6 of Eraser. I?ve been using very 5.88 in lieu of something better. It is still functional.

Having secure free space wipe functionality would be a big plus. Our main concern is that the software be simple to setup and use and be safe (basically, we don?t want the free space wipe to result in a bricked machine). This is for a very short term use and management features are not desired.
