Value of keeping RAM, and clear disk space overwritten, on a steady basis

General Discussion

as with a back ground program.

Or is it, overwrite RAM on shutdown. Like all ones or all zeros.
Or over write RAM on Start Up.
Or to have a program on Live USB to over write RAM, while not running Qubes.

And to over write unused disk space (with ones or Zeros) with the same timing/conditions considerations. As chosen by computer user.

To keep malware away, and to keep information from being available by someone who – takes computer. Out of my control.

Waste of time. If something started automatically, perhaps a huge waste of time. Or drains battery.

More worry that would be more productive worry used elsewhere . Which is — A question.

RAM is volatile, so it is automatically cleared on power loss, although for a period of time it remains susceptible to cold boot attacks:

Some years back there was malware that would get into RAM, that might do various things.

In our case, for another Qube to start with that area of RAM inside.

But that is a hardware kind of question. So I do not know how to research it.

That would be fileless malware:

No, for better or worse, my current activities are focused on producing quality results rather than insightful discussion.
