Do you ever wish you could get rid of unwanted files with just one click? Try PanicWipe. PanicWipe can delete files, folders, registry keys, IE cache, history and cookies with just one click. You select wich files and folders to wipe, and wich keys to delete, PanicWipe does the rest. Instead of just "deleting" your files you can choose secure "wiping" (up to 10 times overwriting before deletion!!) wich will make your files unrecoverable. You can also specify a list of programs that will be terminated before execution, so your files won't be 'in use'. PanicWipe can be protected with a password (start/execute/cancel/close) and has a countdown timer
