The magnet trick is pretty effective, but leaves evidence that you are hiding something. Over-write the hard drive using the original program disks. Do this three times. This will remove everything that had been previously done on the computer, and there is no real evidence that you are hiding anything.
There are also pirate programs out there that will re-write your hard-drive if youdo not enteer the correct password. This one is dangerous if you ever mis-type your passwod!
Personally, I perform all of my computer actions through a program on an external hard-drive. That way there is no evidence of on-line cookies or websites on the computer itself. The external hard-drive is encrypted and is program protected as well. If the wrong password is entered twice, the program executes and over-writes. My financials and personal files are not used on a computer that is connected to the internet, so hacking and pirating are not an issue. |
