I've read a few posts and realize my situation is not unique. I typed in searches for age appropriate porn, picked a few to download and left.

When I returned some of the files that downloaded were of underage girls. I'd like to get these wiped off of my hard drive so my daughter or wife doesn't run across them or if I need to take my computer in for a repair.

Is there any software that I can use to REALLY wipe the stuff or do I need to just get a new hard drive? I don't have the start-up discs anymore.

I have a Compaq desktop Pentium 4 1.50 GHz with XP 2004.

Any help would be greatly apppreciated.
