The E3 Setup

Blofeld tries out E3:

There are no Start menu items for E3 Security Kit; there is not even a desktop shortcut icon. All that opens when you install is a 'table of contents' HTML file for what seems to be an extensive documentation - which may be disconcerting for a newbie user, but perhaps a welcome relief for the more experienced.

At any rate, I was determined to 'RTFM' before proceeding, and soon found a link to 'Package Contents', where I in turn found an opportunity to view the contents of the setup folder in an Explorer folder window.

As with almost all Radsoft products, the executables are unbelievably small, which is a lot of compact code for a system that's supposed to use Gutmann shredding, clean out Registry junk, remove disk and file slack, and now wrap 'bad apps'.

Everything in the E3 Security Kit is based on so-called 'recipes', which are small prescription-like commands for gutting out disk and Registry junk. Thus the E3 application, the flagship, needs not be more than a parser for this recipe meta-language.

E3 comes set up with an impressive array of recipe files, including the monster file for removing E-E itself. As the application admits of a 'test mode', I decided to run it 'as is' - and immediately.
