Are you willing to share the names of those programs ?
Kind regards

Just FYI about security of deleted data..
I purchase used computers for parts every so often. Many of them have
working hard drives in them.
For fun, I analyze the hard drive out and see what I can find.. just
as a little game of mine.
When I run my undelete/recovery tools on them I can see basically
everything the previous owner had on the drive.. including passwords.
Some of the stuff may be overwritten.. but not much. I don't look at
the stuff for malicious use, I just do it out of curiosity to study
whether or not formatted drives really are secure. And I can say for
sure they are not secure. I don't go in looking at each password I
recovered or anything either.. i basically just confirm for fun that I
can recover the disk.. it's a cheap thrill and only someone with no
life would do such a thing. me. Actually there was a goal in all
this.. it was to find the best undelete tool that worked generically
in the most situations. And yes I found a few for MS Winblows that
worked very well, since most computers I buy had ms windows on them.
One thing I found was that some undelete tools are not nearly as good
as others. I thought many of them used similar algorithms.. but some
of them really worked much better and completely differently
