CNET Editors' review
If you need to cover your virtual tracks by purging unwanted information from your PC, this program does a terrific job. After a speedy installation, Anti Tracks launches automatically to reveal an exceptionally organized interface. You select which files you want to delete from several sections, including ones for Web browsers (IE, Mozilla, Opera), Windows, e-mail, and various applications (such as ICQ or Kazaa). It's also possible to purge any folders of your choice. Paranoiacs will appreciate secure deletions by means of such algorithms as DoD 5220.22-M and Gutmann. What's more, you can design plug-ins for erasing traces left by any application. Besides the program's privacy tools, we were impressed with the features that let you save and launch scheduled tasks over and over again. By all means, Anti Tracks is one of the current best bets for anyone who needs a capable way to protect a PC's privacy.
Publisher's Description
From Giant Matrix:
Anti Tracks securely erases your Internet tracks, computer activities, and history stored in hidden files on your computer. It supports Internet Explorer, AOL, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera and Netscape browsers. It also includes more than 115 free plug-ins that extend erasing features to support popular programs, such as Acrobat Reader, Kazaa, PowerDVD, and iMesh. You can schedule tasks at specific intervals or at Windows start-up or shutdown. Also Anti Tracks can protect users' important files and folders in two secure ways: either by locking them with the help of reliable encryption algorithms or hiding them steganographically--inside images and audio files. Both features can be easily accessed through Anti Tracks GUI or Windows Explorer right-click menu! In addition to this, Anti Tracks protects users' online identity through IP Hider feature, which disguises the real IP address, thus providing anonymity.
What's new in this version: Version 7.7.2 improves tracks eraser and IP concealer features.

"All flash, no substance"
Version: Anti Tracks 7.7.2
Pros
Easy to understand interface.
Cons
Failed to perform the functions promised. Never got the disk cleaner to work. The IP concealer appears to only be active in the full version, not the trial so I have no idea if it works or not. Went to purchase the full version, and was sent several emails asking details about my bank account information to "verify" the purchase which sounded a lot like just another phishing attack to me.
Summary
Leave this one alone. Maybe the version cnet was allowed to review performed as promised, but not the version I downloaded and the selling company sounds about as shady as they come.

"Doesn't work!!!"
Version: Anti Tracks 7.7.2
Pros
Didn't see any "PROS"
Cons
The company is a "CON" and the product is "TRASH"
Summary
Download was fine, but it never performed at all!! It didn't even come up when I clicked on the icon. It came up for a short mega second but nothing i could read that fast. then it was gone faster than it came up.

"Fantastic, must have program"
Version: Anti Tracks 7.7.2
Pros
simple, user friendly and contains a loot of tools inside it
Cons
the disk wiper took a lot of time (almost 1 hour) to the extend that it really scared me but it finished without any problem so I guess the program must show more details about the current progress of the disk wiper utility
Summary
it's a great program

"Refund at 40 days of 60day $back"
Version: Anti Tracks 7.7.2
Pros
bad software cant say anything good about it
Cons
You never knew if it was going to run or not or load or not after rebooting which it wants you to do anfter running, if you have to follow up the program to see if it got rid of your History thenwhats the point. they refused refund at 40 days of 60mo
Summary
Very bad customer service they said "What you are explaining is technically impossible as it is impossible for a software to act differently in the same situation on the same machine, OS
'Title should be no refund given at day 40 of a 60 day moneyback ', product doesnt work as expected, often didnt run when browser was shut down. Didnt clean ie history sometimes. Make sure you read all the 'fine print' of a refund before you get this product or maybe even buy from this company
At this stage, you can either offer us more in-depth detailed information on the exact steps you've followed to see the problems you've mentioned. Or we can offer you a free remote support session where one of our engineers will connect to your PC and test our product on your PC to see the reasons behind the problems you are describing.."
If you want a usable products find something else.

"Didn't work as described & APPALLING customer service"
Version: Anti Tracks 7.7.2
Pros
Easy to download and pay for.
Cons
IP Concealer didn't work. I contacted Giant Matrix but no response & had to complain via PayPal. Eventually got a curt email back insinuating I was lying! "Money Back Guarantee" process was impossible to comply with & seems utterly worthless.
Summary
In over ten years of buying products from the internet, this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. So disappointing to see that there are unscrupulous companies in existence who will take your money but treat you like dirt and dispute your integrity.
Never again... -
