Editor's review of Advanced Privacy Cleaner

- "Advanced Privacy Cleaner"
- Version reviewed: Advanced Privacy Cleaner 1.1
If you're looking for a single-point method of cleaning up Internet history files, temporary files, cookies, and more, this nice freeware tool may suit your needs.
Advanced Privacy Cleaner provides a lot of functionality from a simple, elegant, easy-to-navigate, and clearly labeled interface. This free app lists six categories of items to clean: Windows Histories, Program Histories, Browser History, Cookies, Messengers, and Plugins. Windows Histories included Run Command, Find File, Start Menu, Recent File, Task Scheduler Log File, and other similar areas. Each category offered a similarly full listing of items to clear or leave intact. We liked that Advanced Privacy Cleaner had an option for backing up the Registry before cleaning and had flexible options for scheduling cleanings, cleaning on start-up, and shutting down or restarting your system after cleaning.
This freeware app performed very well in our tests, responding quickly and executing its commands in a very short period of time. It was easy to use, making it a great tool for novices and experienced users.

Version: Advanced Privacy Cleaner 1.1
Pros: This privacy cleaner will clean run command history, find computer history, find file history, start menu history, recent documents, task scheduler log file, MMC recent file list, user track history, and windows hibernation files.
Also will clean temp files, Open/Save recent dialog, Microsoft recent files, browser history, typed URLs, auto complete forms, cookies, index .dat files, and history of Yahoo, Google, and MSN messengers.
Cons: The flaw it has is it will not clean temporary internet files, unless the clear cookies file is checked.

"A good freeware. Recommended."
Pros: It cleans up Limewire and many other applications in the plug-ins options.
It deletes only the ones you select. Highly recommended. Not many freeware cleans up Limeware and many others.
