Reviewed by: CNET Staff
All things considered, Automatic Windows and Internet Washer makes a solid tool for keeping your computer activities to yourself. Similar to many privacy applications, this program boasts an easy-to-navigate tabbed interface and lets you choose what to delete by checking or unchecking boxes. The program erases all aspects of your surfing history--including typed URLs, temporary files, and cookies--from Internet Explorer and Netscape, but doesn't support other popular browsers such as Opera. The application not only can clean traces from Windows system areas such as the Run menu and the Clipboard, but it also supports a decent amount of third-party applications, including ICQ, Kazaa, and the Microsoft Office suite. For additional security, you can set Automatic Windows and Internet Washer to run at every reboot or quickly engage its stealth-mode setting. Our main gripe has to do with the file shredder, which doesn't let you wipe data according to secure governmental algorithms. It does offer three security levels, but the demo version disables the two most thorough modes. Still, if you don't routinely shred files or you already have a dedicated data-eradication app, this program covers all other privacy bases.Publisher's description
From WasherSoft :Your computer stores more information than you think. All over your hard drive is information about the sites you've visited, files you've opened, and people you've emailed. Automatic Windows and Internet Washer cleans any evidence of your Internet and Windows habits. You can have it run on schedule to automatically clean your system in stealth mode, as well as on Windows start-up and shutdown. This software introduces innovative features including one-click washing, a keep-list function, government-strength removal techniques, and plug-ins. It cleans the browser history, cache, cookies, typed URLs, auto complete list, saved passwords, index.dat files, e-mail history, Windows temporary files, the Recycle Bin, the Clipboard, the Google Toolbar history, and the histories of ICQ, MSN, AOL, and Yahoo Messenger.
