The Main Evidence Eliminator Window
Safe Shutdown
The
most popular option for regular daily use. Safe Shutdown runs a
full elimination process, then shuts the machine down to finish
the job completely. On completion, your machine remains in DOS,
thoroughly cleaned and ready to switch off (Windows 95/98) or switches
itself off (Windows ME, XP.)
Safe Restart
The same as Safe Shutdown, but on completion the system will reboot
back into Windows, thoroughly cleaned and ready to go.
Using Evidence Eliminator either in Safe
Shutdown or Safe Restart mode provides the same maximum protection.
Quick Mode
The Quick Mode button runs a quick cleanup of those parts of the
PC that can be cleaned in a minute or two. A blue "Q"
symbol with a red "X" in the top-right of the Options
Window shows those items which are skipped in Quick Mode.
Quick Mode is good for quick clean-ups but it does not completely
clean your machine. Your browser can appear to be remembering URL's
(because they have been deleted from disk but they are still in
memory), and plenty of unseen forensic evidence will still remain
on your drives. To run a full process of elimination you require
one of the above two options: Safe Shutdown or Safe Restart.
Test Mode
The Test Mode button starts Evidence Eliminator, and stop to allow
you to view or save the log. Test Mode deletes files.
Test Mode enables all logging functions and will tell you where
to find the logs once it finishes. You can then use those logs to
fix any problems you may have on your PC.
Test Mode is a useful mode for testing your options and viewing
the results but it does not completely clean your machine. Your
browser can appear to be remembering URL's (because they have been
deleted from disk but they are still in memory), and plenty of unseen
forensic evidence will still remain on your drives. To run a full
process of elimination you require one of the above two options:
Safe Shutdown or Safe Restart.
