Privacy Rely 1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program aims to keep your Web and computer usage private, but some features fail to hit the mark. Providing a mere seven-day trial, Privacy Rely flaunts an attractive interface, with a nice mixture of graphics, clear labels, and menus. The software asserts it will remove the tracks of Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape, AOL, and Opera. It also offers clean up of your Windows history, recent file lists, and numerous plug-ins. Options to perform scheduled cleanups, file shredding, as well as RAM optimization are available. Unfortunately, in our testing, the program's reliability at performing some ordinary tasks is questionable. The application sporadically fails to delete the typed URL list, cache, and cookies upon request, although a log is generated claiming success each time. A system reboot, as the program requires each time a cleanup is executed, doesn't consistently clear the items either. With similar programs on the market, users may want to look for a more reliable privacy solution.
