I like Eraser, it does a better job than many others I have tried. It can 'erase' ntfs alternate data streams, swap file, cluster tips and its easy to use. It's thorough and now open source too. http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/ Although, if your going to throw them away anyway...the most secure and fun method involves sledge hammers and other blunt force instruments. ;)
