NetShred X for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Mireth Technology:

Clean Cache, Clear History automatically with NetShred X, the easy-to-use internet cache cleaner for Mac OS X that securely erases cache files your browser and email programs leave behind. NetShred X is the internet privacy software that is easy, fast and cleaner. Easy because it runs automatically - you don't have to remember to use it. Fast because it runs in the background - you don't have to wait for it. Cleaner because it will erase, not just delete all internet tracks for almost every browser and email program on Mac OS X. Your web browser stores copies of the images and text that you see when on the internet. This information can be recovered by anyone with access to your computer. These internet tracks - browser cache, history, download cache, quicktime cache, favicons, cookies and email cache, trash, spam and junk mail - not only potentially compromise your privacy, they also take up a lot of disk space. Clearing your cache, throwing these files in the trash, or deleting them will not remove the file contents from the hard drive - it just removes the file name from the directory, leaving the data intact and recoverable. To dispose of these internet tracks, you need an internet eraser to erase them so they can't be recovered.

What's new in this version: Adds support for Firefox 11, Camino 2.1 and Chrome 17.

    "Simple. Simple. Simple. (Whew!)"

    January 30, 2012  |   By MrJxn

    Version: NetShred X 4.7.3

    Pros

    So simple.

    If you are like me, and do deal with proprietary design, sensitive data, and whatever else a high ranking business executive might work with online, then having a utility that is constantly cleaning your data is priceless. And this one does it with simplicity (xx fingers in their next iteration they also add style (beautify)).

    Once loaded and paid for - it sits ready and waiting for your action - easy to configure - set it and let it work.

    Cons

    If there's a knock, it looks like it was first developed for OS 7, 8 or 9 and has had few interface updates since. I know that many developers lose function by over beautifying, but this would be one developer who has loaded on the function, with grace, putting a few $$ or beer points to a designer would pay off big time.

    Summary

    Multiple uses, multiple benefits. If you are a developer and care to keep your sessions unique, this works. If you are concerned with privacy and want to EASILY protect yourself, this works.

    When you take responsibly of an organization and your data, you should do whatever you can to protect you, your clients and your best practices. My suggestion is to include this as an active partner working with you what you walk away from your computer. It speeds things up, and keeps data clean.

    If you don't care, aren't concerned, or not interested, then this probably would be over your head a little bit because all it does it delete your internet footprints as far as they go on your machine.

    That's all. And it does it well.
