CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This privacy utility doesn't provide the highest level of protection around, but it offers more than we usually expect from a freebie. Privacy Mantra's nonresizable main window basically consists of four expanding check boxes, which let you include or exclude items from a cleaning session. As you might expect, the utility can wipe away your Web-surfing traces from both Internet Explorer and Firefox, though it lacks support for other alternative browsers, such as Opera. Privacy Mantra also cleans up areas of your Windows system, including the Recycle Bin and the Clipboard. The list of supported third-party applications isn't exhaustive, but the utility can zap your usage history from the Microsoft Office suite, as well as other popular programs such as Adobe Acrobat and Nero Burning ROM. You won't find a scheduling feature or a secure file shredder, but you can't expect everything from freeware. Users short on cash will find Privacy Mantra handles the basics just fine.Publisher's description
From Codeode :Privacy Mantra keeps your computer clean from online and offline tracks. Most people are unaware that every Web site they have visited remains in the undeletable index.dat file, even after the Internet history and cache has been removed. Your system also is keeping information of executables you run, movies you watch, and documents you open. Some of these prints can not be deleted manually as they are locked by the system. Privacy Mantra will erase and wash away most privacy threats in your machine including Internet history, cache, cookies, index.dat files, auto-complete forms, the search assistant, recent documents, open and save dialogs, run files, and Mozilla Firefox. Privacy Mantra allows the user to easily download the latest database of threats. This reliable cleaner will not only protect your privacy, but also free disk space by deleting junk files.
Version 1.2 now supports Mozilla Firefox and added a log function.

Version: Privacy Mantra 1.32
Pros: I tested it against privacy eraser and others, one by one. It always rids the pc of at least 3 to 4 more that the others missed. This program is free, fast, thorough, and simple to use. Once in a while you run across something that is excellent and you can give it a fiver. Well this is one of them.
Cons: Needs different skin options. Some like pleasing to the eye type apps, not me personally as long as it works good, but i think this great program would do well to get more attention with better\different skins. More of a suggestion than a con but i would like to see this get more popular.

Version: Privacy Mantra 1.32
Pros: It cleans the tracks! I agree with the editors review!
I like the fact that it does'nt automatically save a log file of cleaned tracks. It gives you an option.
Cons: None considering its a freeware.

Version: Privacy Mantra 1.32
Pros: Cleans up your tracks decently... FREE.
Cons: No secure-file shredder, too limited of a database location to clean, hardly ever updated, new version stays in tray (annoying).
