Safari has a private browsing feature, as well as a delete all history feature that should be pretty comparable to CCleaner.

I use Eraser to securely delete files on my Windows XP desktop. I use CCleaner to securely delete my surfing history, cookies and cache.I'm looking for similar freeware secure deletion tools that can be used on Mac OS X. Mac OS X comes with its own secure deletion option but it does not have any options to configure. How does it fair against a tool like Eraser? Is there a better tool for Mac? How about a freeware tool to securely clear my surfing history, cookies and cache? My preference is for both tools to support the Gutmann method.Any recommendations would be appreciated.
