CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This very basic yet free privacy-protection tool does what it's supposed to, but basically duplicates functionality already found in Internet Explorer. Internet History Cleaner handles the job suggested by its name, clearing away typed URLs, cookies, and temporary Internet files. It can also wipe tracks from the Run menu and the Recent Documents list. The application provides access to a bookmark-management tool, though Internet Explorer already has one built right in. Unlike full-blown privacy suites, this one doesn't support alternative browsers, can't clean up tracks from third-party programs, and won't securely delete files or let you schedule cleaning sessions. Newbies who don't know how to clean up their IE history manually might examine this freebie, but most other users can safely pass it by.Publisher's description
From Next Step Software :This program deletes all the Internet history from any Windows machine. Both the Internet Explorer drop-down list of sites and the temporary Internet files are cleared. It resets the list of visited sites to news sites. It also cleans the recently used files and the Run menu.

Version: Internet History Cleaner 1.5
"This is an awesome program!!"
Pros: I like everything about this program. You can have it start from the Startup menu or via a batch file. Despite what the Editor review said, it does run with third party programs. It cleans my Firefox info as well. Although, you can have Firefox do it itself. Keep in mind that Internet Explorer settings are per user. If you run this from the All Users Startup folder, it'll run automatically for all users.
