The Attachment Wiper component is a feature of Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007. Attachment Wiper cleans data on the client computer after the end-user ends the IAG 2007 session. This article describes the data that is cleaned by Attachment Wiper.
On a computer that is running Windows Vista, Attachment Wiper cleans all items at all required integrity levels. For example, if the site is accessed in protected mode, Attachment Wiper tries to clean all locations at both the medium-integrity and low-integrity levels. If the site is not accessed in protected mode, only the medium-integrity level is cleaned.
The following table provides detailed information about data that is cleaned by Attachment Wiper.
