Is there anything out there that will auto clean the swap on a Vista
operating system? Thanks in advance

Rather than cleaning it after the fact, why not use something
that encrypts it? Either a whole-disk (or whole-partition)
encryption, or install Bestcrypt which comes with a separate utility
that specifically encrypts the swap file. (Note, I've been told
that that separate utility is available for free if you search and
want to risk it.)

I've known about encryption, I was just wondering if anyone out there
has developed a cleaner for it that works for vista. If you don't want
to encrypt and have vista, the swap is an open table.

Here's a better question. How would you know it would be a successful
clean each and every time? Hw would you know if Vista wasn't writing
info about the swaps in hidden files?
