I want to give my machine to charity, but I will
need to completely wipe the hard drive.
What is the best free programme for doing this?
Thanks.

Every time I use CC Cleaner I lose my automatic logins
to sites.
Is there a way to avoid this?

Or you may prefer to allow CCleaner to remove most cookies by leaving that Cookies box checked. Then go Options, Cookies, and select the cookies you wish to not have deleted [the ones with your log-ins, for eg].
