Software Question

[Deputy49]

I use adaware for spyware and have used cccleaner for removing hidden webpages,  but is there a software program that will allow you to look at the hidden emails and clean them or not.
Thanks.

FORMAT.COM works well for this... If you don't want to wait the required time for FORMAT to clean up your mail folders you can just use the faster version called FDISK.EXE.

any link for download?

It's already on your computer; simply open a DOS box and type format [letter of drive you want to clean mail from]

Hit y and you should be just fine!

in DOS type "format c:"
then when it asks you if you want to clean the drive press y
   thats all there is to it.

And if you are trying to do that to a drive that windows is INSTALLED on boot from a Windows 9x CD or a Bootdisk, you can get these at bootdisk.com

If your BIOS has it, theres anohter called
"Low Level Format" try it just press del or whatever gets you BIOS setup at boottime.

shut the fuck up man! we were helping them clean spyware from their windows computer. Not delete everything on their hard drive     *wink* *wink*

Format /q

what does that do?

Yes, but "echo y | format c: /u" will have a longer lasting effect.

what does the "/u" afterwards do?
whats wrong with plain ol' "format c:"?

"Unconditional", it takes longer but it is more thourough. I think it wipes both copies of the FAT so an "unformat" is not possible and it clears every block on the partition.  But that's a Winblows thing.. I hate talking Winblows.
