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.

    Pros: Free Internet Eraser has three cleaning modes.

    1. Quick clean.

    2. Clean and reboot. Both of these modes will clean a lot of internet tracks.

    3. Click on browser and clean what you want to clean temporary internet files, typed urls, visted urls, browser history, and cookies if you want to clean cookies.
