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. For maximum flexibility you can also create your own cleaning plugins and download others.
Version 2.05 is a bug fixing release.

Version: Privacy Mantra 2.06
Pros: It's better than the previous piece of software I was using, ???.
Deletes index.dat files (whcih many competitors don't).Cons: My friend, who has very little computing knowledge, can see everything that I have been doing even after I have deleted files and "cleaned" my computer using Privacy Mantra.
Summary: My friend, who has very little computing knowledge, can see everything that I have been doing even after I have deleted files and "cleaned" my computer using Privacy Mantra. If a person who relies on me for computing support (including having asked... read more >>
