The answer you don't want to hear is format the drive and start clean. It is a pain, but is the guaranteed method of wiping them out.
I know it is a pain to have to backup your data (something you should be doing anyways) and then re-load all of your software. Speaking from experience, it is a sure-fire method.
It also has some added benefits of weeding out all of the unused software. I recently did an upgrade and had a stack of all the old software I had been using on the old system. Instead of loading it all, I waited until I needed it. I still have about 5 CDs that I have not loaded. Looks like I wasn't using those programs.
