There is Eraser, Sure Delete, and PGP Wipe. All three are free. I like using all three one after the another just to be sure.

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

Although, if your going to throw them away anyway...the most secure and
fun method involves sledge hammers and other blunt force instruments. ;)
