Antiforensic Tools

What's particularly troubling about Geiger's study was his assessment of the product reviews written about these programs. It seems that none of the reviewers had actually tested the programs to see if they worked. Instead, the reviews were written mostly from a user's perspective⬠do the programs have easy-to-use interfaces and a good feature set?
Antiforensic programs shouldn't be necessary. Windows and other operating systems should have provisions for removing personal data, and deleted files should actually be removed from the disk. Until that day, however, these tools are a necessary part of any CSO's arsenal.
