Thank you Joel. It runs flawlessly, and its origin successfully verified. :D

I was already aware of this, but I suppose it would not hurt to use both, a checksum for the exe and that whats already being used. So everyone can use its personal preference. This would be the first or one of the few open source projects, that relies mainly on a root certificate, depending...

It would be nice if the maintainer(s) provided some hashes, so everyone knows for certain that what they use is actually what they intended to use. For example : "Eraser 6.0.2.813 Setup.exe" = SHA-512...

What are features already planned for implementation for 5.87, its still unclear to me what the main objectives for 5.87 are ?

It works, now 500 minutes is 78 minutes on the 160gb, I will run it on the other systems tonight. Off topic, the new Comodo 3.0.21.329 Release Date: March 27, 2008 just half an our ago. * FIXED! CFP.exe could be terminated using EndTask API * FIXED! When the firewall alerts...

Ok, Ill have a look, thanks.

Comodo agent can only be disabled if you remove it from startup and then reboot, disable network connection only then I'm able to use Eraser in normal mode. I don't want to do this every time I use Eraser. But only this time, to test if this makes any time difference.

Reinstalled 5.87 on three different machines. On a 160GB 1pass takes 563 minutes in safe mode. Maybe Ill have to wait for a new beta, because 5.86a doesn't shutdown after erasure. In normal mode Comodo firewall's CPU explodes when I use Eraser, because it puts every erased file on the "my...

When both were running in safe mode when the huge time difference occurred, why try normal mode. What about VC2005 redistributable in post 6:13 pm ?

I maybe have the explanation for the time difference, VC2005 redistributable could have been overwritten by some program Ive used on the laptop earlier. I will reinstall Eraser and have a look. Or can Eraser run smoothly without VC2005 redistributable?

You mean slower, because of less RPM? Ironically there was even more free space on the 320GB desktop and less RAM. Eraser is deliberately configured in exactly the same way on each machine, so I was able to rule things out.

When I do a 1pass pseudorandom free space wipe, on a 250GB notebook and a 320GB desktop, the finalization time difference is about 3.5 times slower for the notebook. Nearly everything between the two is identical, processor, RAM amount, OS config, version of Eraser, first with 5.86a then 5.87...

For the recycle bin, one cannot select the optional pass multiply amount. I would like to be able to configure this! So now, if you use the pseudorandom data option, it will just be 1pass.

OK, so a regular free space pseudo-1pass wipe, with Eraser's default settings, should create enough entropy and is therefore sufficient. Thanks ;)
