Publisher's description

From Peacekeeper :

HistorySweep is a simple yet powerful privacy-protection tool for removing your Internet surfing tracks. Your Web browser's built-in privacy functions will not completely and securely delete all your history files, leaving them vulnerable to recovery. HistorySweep comes with a pop-up killer, which will disallow Web sites from opening annoying pop-up windows on your computer.

Version 2.0 includes a few enhancements and bug fixes. It now automatically detects up to four AOL installations starting with 9.0c. FireFox will now automatically be detected when closing and auto sweep. Macromedia Flash Player Shared Objects (PIE files) and Shockwave Preferences can now be cleared via the Media Player tab. The Cookie Keep now supports saving cookies for IE, AOL Browser, FireFox, and Netscape, plus Flash Player Shared Objects.

Version: HistorySweep 2.0

"Nightmare"

by zigjig on June 8, 2005

Cons: This program takes forever to load. Drains your system resources/ leaves you with no RAM. It does not even live up to its name as it does not clean your history. To get it closed down you would need to use Task Manager. Definitely DON'T download this
