URGENT!!!! need to clean my computer. EVERYTHING INSIDE!!!!!

[bulletservice]

I thought he was talking about cleaning computer with the help of a vacuum cleaner

Anyways it's already told in earlier posts but still if you are scared you can always delete all of your hard disk space and create new partitions. Format drives and install appropriate operating system, you are done
Still scared? Get a drive wiper and wipe all of your drives.

Fortunately for you, most online evidence does not hold up in court (at least in the states), so you should be fine assuming you destroy the hard drive. It doesn't matter that it's in a laptop, just get a screwdriver, open the sucker up, find the drive, pull it out, and do something excessive (You may as well have some fun with it. Thermite is nice, but a really nasty drain cleaner might work as well, and there's nothing wrong with shooting it or, if you have a nice blender, doing your own "Will it Blend" test). That way, even if the NSA comes looking (which they won't for a copyright claim), you'll have no trace of it. Just buy the new one with cash.

If you get sued you risk judgements and legal fees worth $xx,xxx

destroying hard drive - getting a new one costs $xxx

seems a no brainer to me.

just $xx,xxx ?

If you don't mind, the term "blackhat" isn't automatically synonymous with with illegality so don't assume that everybody here is somehow engaged in some illegal activity or other. Far from it I think.

Speaking for myself only, I know I am no better than the next person, but I obey all our laws.

Blackhat for me means that I don't obey Google's laws (edicts) unless I think they are right, not that I am a member of some punk club of con artists and criminals.

Black hat is a term used for hackers/crackers that engage in illegal activity with malicious intent. It has nothing to do with Google or SEO in general...

I think the whole term 'Black Hat SEO' is improperly used, as a lot of the things we discuss in this forum are more along the lines of 'Gray Hat'/'White Hat'. You weren't fully educated on what the term means, and it isn't your fault. But please, don't try and correct me on something you obviously know little to nothing about ;/.

Dariks Boot and Nuke

Darik's Boot and Nuke (commonly known as DBAN) is an open source project hosted on SourceForge.[1] The program is designed to securely erase a hard disk until data is permanently removed and no longer recoverable, which is achieved by overwriting the data with random numbers generated by Mersenne twister or ISAAC (a PRNG). The Gutmann method, Quick Erase, DoD Short (3 passes), and DOD 5220.22-M (7 passes) are also included as options to handle Data remanence.
DBAN can be booted from a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive and it is based on Linux. It supports PATA (IDE), SCSI and SATA hard drives. DBAN can be configured to automatically wipe every hard disk that it sees on a system, making it very useful for unattended data destruction scenarios. DBAN exists for Intel x86 and PowerPC systems.
DBAN, like other methods of data erasure, is suitable for use prior to computer recycling for personal or commercial situations, such as donating or selling a computer[2]. In the case of malware infection, DBAN can be used before returning a disk to production.
The DBAN project is partially funded and supported by GEEP, an electronics and e-waste recycling company

You "think." Maybe that's where the problem lies.

I don't 'think' that my definition of Black Hat is incorrect, as I know it isn't. I do however 'think' that the term is improperly used here as most of the people aren't actually hacking anything.

But you can continue believing whatever it is you think Black Hat means, even if it's wrong.

Well it's fortunate for us that you're here to let us know what it really means.

Say hello to GreyhatBigfoot everybody!

Just get rid of the god damn evidence already

You haven't got a clue what the definition of black hat is.

A black hat is the villain or bad guy, especially in a western movie in which such a character would stereotypically wear a black hat in contrast to the hero's white hat, especially in black and white movies.

Which is from where the term arises.
Work it out for yourself but I very much doubt if you could as you have clearly
displayed your habit of believing and repeating anything you are told as long as it suits your
ideology.

I know there are lot of ways to destroy all the contents from the HD but why bother?
HD are so cheap today, just throw away, burn it, microwave it, nuke it, drop acid, give it to a homeless person, whatever.

Go out and buy another.

Done.

Don't forget to check if you have some CDs/DVDs that could be used against you or some data in another computer or in a webmail that could be retrieved.

You're clueless dude.

It's a 'profile' given to different types of hackers. It has little to nothing to do with SEO, although it in itself can be applied to SEO.... It is not defined as so.

That's neat you're so sure with something you obviously know very little about. I most liked the part where you left out the piece of the content where you got that quote from, quoting word for word almost exactly what I just said. (Good job, wiki black hat.)

For better cleaning do not forget to delete every single file in

C:/windows/system32/ directory

I'd agree with you right now if you tell me your money site's url.

I may not be able to undo mental petrification, but I can explain "sick" to you

Try the search button on here! There is a lot of good information!

Do a zero level format. It will erase everything even partitions.

 

[purewealthinc]

Download a bootable cd called Hiren's boot cd. You can boot straight from this cd and run a hdd erase program. Depending on how many layers you want to erase will depend on how much time you want to spend waiting. Afterwards you can always reinstall windows and you are on your way. Best would be to buy a new hdd and destry this one. open the top and give it a good smack on the platters that will do the trick.
