How do you remove traces from the swap file? What about the Start menu's list of recently opened documents? If a browser can act as a client, what about its history list? Bookmarks? What about external applications such as image viewers which keep their own lists of recently opened files? There is only one way of ensuring traces will not be left behind: by not storing it in the first place. Anything else is simply a false sense of security. Encrypt everything. -- zem at zip.com.au F289 2BDB 1DA0 F4C4 DC87 EC36 B2E3 4E75 C853 FD93 zem.squidly.org "..I'm invisible, I'm invisible, I'm invisible.." _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
