Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Sophisticated graphics and intriguing features put Mister Alibi Windows Cleaner on a higher level than many of its competitors. Most of the program's functions clean up unwanted URLs, cookies, and temporary files from your computer. However, it goes a step further by allowing you to insert fake information to make it look as if you hadn't scoured your computer at all. You can create fake filenames to populate your media player and favorite documents lists, or let the program generate default innocent-sounding names automatically, or both. It even deletes information from the Registry to hide your tracks. You can extend the supported applications list with Window Washer plug-ins. Not all the plug-ins appear to be effective, though, and we didn't manage to clear the Open lists in Microsoft Office. Also, because the program doesn't hide its icon or folders, whoever is snooping will have reason to think you're up to something. Finally, though you can password-protect the program, it doesn't ghost the password when you type it in or ask for the password when you uninstall. Due to these drawbacks, Mister Alibi Windows Cleaner can save home users from embarrassment but may not clear them of suspicion.Publisher's description
From RebrandSoftware :This all-new version of the popular software Mister Alibi protects your privacy by cleaning your system of embarrassing, incriminating, or just plain space-hogging cookies, temp files, recent documents, typed URLs, and IE history. What makes Mister Alibi exceptional is that it gives you total contol over what is erased from your computer. You can choose to keep certain cookies as well as certain typed URLs. You can even populate the Recent Document menu with innocent files, and fill Media Player's history list with fake names. That means no one will know you've been trying to erase anything. Mister Alibi also is compatible with more than 150 plug-ins for cleaning every program imaginable.
