Tested spyware free CNET editors' review Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This garden-variety application for cleaning your PC's history gets a big boost because of its status as nonrestricted freeware. AbsoluteShield Internet Eraser Lite clears such system locations as the Internet history, cookies, the Web browser address bar, the temporary files folder, the Recycle Bin, and recently opened documents. The interface is so straightforward even a small child could navigate it with little or no difficulty, and the system-tray icon makes it all the more convenient. If you want to be extra cautious, you can erase files so they can't be restored, or run the app clandestinely in stealth mode. The built-in pop-up blocker doesn't have a lot of features, but works well and lets you specify one of three sensitivity levels. Also, as previously mentioned, this handy computer cleaner is free. Therefore, we can recommend it for anyone concerned with keeping their computer habits to themselves.

"nice trial version- does what it claims."
by enolo on December 30, 2007
Pros: I like the simplicity of the interface, and the comprehensive choices available.
Cons: I don't think the full version is worth the price. I most likely won't upgrade simply because of the price.
