New Anti-Forensics Tools Thwart Police

rabblerouzer writes "Antiforensic tools have slid down the technical food chain, from Unix to Windows, from something only elite users could master to something nontechnical users can operate. 'Five years ago, you could count on one hand the number of people who could do a lot of these things,' says one investigator. 'Now it's hobby level.' Take, for example, TimeStomp. Forensic investigators poring over compromised systems where Timestomp was used often find files that were created 10 years from now, accessed two years ago and never modified."

We have one machine at home which went through this.
We managed to get it booting again and it is now capable of running her beloved Sims, but woe betide anyone who dares to run anything else *
The control panel contains about 3 items (and 2 of those are corrupt names), the computer System properties contains two useless tabs, it cannot add hardware, there is no media player or games.

Infact, its the fastest running, most secure version of windows ever.

* If anyone knows a nice way to slipstream all legit Sims install disks as a single operation then please let me know - its a ballache to spend hours installing and updating each expansion pack individually.
