Hello !
Well I guess I shall be the first to post in the shiny new Eraser forensic forum !
I suppose a good place to start would be (assuming no third party software is installed) what are the areas on a hard drive with a standard Windows + Office installation that could be a threat to a users privacy ?
This question is aimed at areas that Eraser would or should be focused on, this isn’t a discussion on antivirus, firewalls or even encryption. So, keeping suggestions to within the realms of Eraser, what areas on a hard drive should Eraser pay attention to in order to protect a user’s privacy ?
So far I have got…
