Im in IT...u give me a hard drive, and even with these 'programs' I will still find and extract these files.
Even if it has benn formated a couple times.
Its not hard to do, 5 mins to set up, sit back and wait 3 to 24 hrs depending in the size of the harddrive...Then simply sort thru for a couple hrs and find them....
I also admin school networks...audits of machines/users is part of my job.

Bottom line...if u want to play in the dark side of socierty including the internet, u can be gananteed it will came back a bite u. In the case of the internet, usually means u will screw up your machine and it will cost u to fix.
Another note, many, like myself, when we do get a machine that beeds maintance due to intentional visiting of underground sites, our charge out rates are bumpped up....
U may ask why? thats not fair...
Well it is common knowledge that these sites will screw your machine, so u get what u ask for AND we have to put up with often veiwing the crap...we dont realy NEED that.
Sry to be so blunt.

I have left this topic on the site as it may warn users to be careful not to visit sites with obvious intentions. I have had many calls from friends who have visited such sites and need their computers rebuilding. It may cost a lot of cash and a lot of time and the loss of a lot of valuable info. so beware.
I have recently added security to JowettTalk to help prevent your exposure to such threats. If you are not streetwise in Brixton or Liverpool (no disrespect intended and sorry if this does not translate to downtown Sydney or Wellington), then act the same way on the Internet.
