CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Effective and easy, Free Internet Eraser gets rid of most of your tracks, though some features are unavailable in the trial version.

The program makes quick work of traces you've left in Windows and from the Internet: temporary files, your list of recently used documents, Open/Save history, Internet Explorer cache, and lists of visited sites and typed URLs. Plug-ins to clean up traces left by other applications (ICQ, MSN Messenger) are available in the paid version only. The program can perform automatic cleanup at regular intervals (on every start-up or shutdown, for example, or on a timer).

An average user is unlikely to need permanent deletion algorithms (scrambling filenames or overwriting with random numbers), but then again, only the paranoiacs survive. This free utility's advanced features disabled unless you pay for the upgrade. However, even hamstrung it offers capabilities sufficient for most active surfers.

Free Internet Eraser is Internet-privacy software that cleans up all your history and past computer activities. Even though many of its tasks can be performed manually, Free Internet Eraser can automate the process for you.

In addition, it can automatically clean your files at start-up or shutdown. Free Internet Eraser implements the U.S. Department of Defense DoD 5220.22-M and NSA-clearing and -sanitizing standard to gives you confidence that, once deleted, your file data is gone forever and cannot be recovered.
