-------------Use TraceKiller------------------------------------

****************Why Use TraceKiller******************************************

When a file on your hard drive is removed ( deleted ), the data actually still 
remain on the disk and some program ( for undeleting ) can recover it. 
TraceKiller is designed to help you to actually destroy the data and erase any 
trace of your  removed files by writing randomly generated data over the entire 
free space of a drive so that any meaningful data will be overwritten and so 
unrecoverable from these free space. In the mean time, TraceKiller does not 
touch any used space so that existing files with the drive are still intact.

***************Usage of TraceKiller*********************************************

TraceKiller interacts with user in a very simple interface. What you need do is 
just clicking the drive icons to select a single or multiple drives ( to select
multiple drives, click drives with <SHIFT> or <CTRL> key held down ) you want 
to kill trace and then click <Go>. TraceKiller then takes care of everything 
else. You can watch the progress on processing each drive and cancel the 
operation at any time.

You should be aware that TraceKiller will write a large amount of data to your 
hard drive if your drive contains a lot of free space. This means a lot of mechanic 
work need be accomplished by your hard drive when running TraceKiller. To keep your 
drive living for a longer time, do not use the program everyday. Use it only when 
necessary.

------------Uninstallation of TraceKiller---------------

Since there is no installation before using TraceKiller, simply remove TraceKiller.exe
and this readme file from your computer is all you should do for "uninstallation".
