For the more technically inclined VIPRE offers several useful bonus tools. If you enable the Secure File Eraser, you get a menu item to the right-click menu for files and folders that lets you permanently erase sensitive data. Specifically, Eraser overwrites the file three times before erasing it. The erases recently used file lists and other traces of computer and browser activity for several dozen popular programs. And the PC Explorer offers a view of many system settings that are relevant to security.
Probably the most useful PC Explorer elements are the list of startup programs and running processes. For each program it displays the name, publisher, and description along with an icon identifying that program as safe, suspicious, hazardous, or unknown. These are strictly informational—you can't remove a program from the startup list or terminate a process.
