For malware, a single pass of just writing zeros to the disk should be perfectly adequate. The disk will return all zeros at that point. No more malware. It's data remanence that may warrant multiple passes. It's possible to recover information from magnetic media via "special methods". But we're talking things like disassembling the drive and putting the platters under an electron microscope. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
