Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although it doesn't support as many third-party programs as some competitors, this PC-cleaning application still strikes us as a very good option. The resizable, logically arranged main window is easy enough to comprehend in only seconds. You can delete cookies, cached files, typed URLs, favorites, and the history from Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Opera. Max Eraser also lets you perform such functions as emptying your Recycle Bin and clearing your clipboard. In addition, the utility cleans traces left by programs such as popular P2P apps, antispyware utilities, and a few IM clients. The ability to create custom plug-ins is a nice bonus to more savvy users. We're glad to say Max Eraser can schedule cleaning sessions, contains a file shredder, and encrypts individual documents or entire folders. We can recommend Max Eraser to most home users concerned with their privacy.Publisher's description
From Maxion Software :Max Eraser will clean your PC, clear your Internet history, and shred history and instant-messaging files for optimum PC performance. It also provides file encryption, file shredding, stealth operation, and a home-page lock. The stealth feature hides the operation of this advanced privacy system. The program erases the site address bar, the recent files list, your cache, the cookies, the favorites, the history logs, and the autocomplete Web addresses. You also have the ability to save selected cookies from elimination. Newer features include a new user-friendly interface, Quick Erase, Erase Plus, and Bleach Space. Erase Plus will shred/overwrite common areas of PC usage. Bleach Space will completely clean unused hard drive.
Major upgrades in version 4.2 includes advanced feature to eliminate cookies / adware created by sites that utilize Macromedia flash for customer tracking.

Version: Max Eraser 4.2
"Made my system unstable and had to reinstall OS"
Cons: I am a pretty advanced user. I have been working with PC since early versions of DOS. I installed this to clean a computer before giving it to a co-worker. It rendered my system unstable. I was unable to run system restore (under safe mode as well) and after 2 hours work ended up having to restore my system. This software shouldn't be here.
