Editor's review of East-Tec Eraser 2009
stars
- "Not for novices"
- Reviewed on: May 4, 2009
- Version reviewed: East-Tec Eraser 2009 9.3
We had very mixed feelings after we put East-Tec Eraser 2009 to the test. While it provided us with stellar removal of unwanted files and browsing traces, it failed to provide us with its findings before it erased them, and a glitch caused the program to freeze up on several occasions.
The user interface is pretty self-explanatory. The sleek command buttons on the left side of the interface let you choose the cleaning options you'd like to employ. But from the get-go, the program would freeze up on us and become unresponsive at various times. Eventually, it would return to normal, but it was annoying nonetheless. Using the Privacy Guard feature, the program performed a basic scan of our computer and, considering the task at hand, quickly found and wiped unwanted files and browsing traces from our computer. The problem was that it failed to provide us with a list of the found files before it started to wipe them. We had no choice in the matter, which made us a little nervous. The program includes a schedule feature that allows you to schedule specific scans of your computer.
We would have liked to have seen a longer trial period than 15 days, but overall, because of our issues with the program, we suggest that you proceed with caution when trying out East-Tec Eraser 2009.
