CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
We like this system-cleaning utility's feature set and flexibility. Naturally, R-Wipe & Clean can erase your browser's cache, cookies, temporary files, and typed URLs. In addition, you can securely delete any file via the right-click menu in Windows Explorer. You can perform common system deletions as well, such as emptying your Recycle Bin and erasing your Clipboard history. The program even includes a pop-up blocker. R-Wipe & Clean covers tracks left in a wide variety of applications, from productivity suites to IM clients. We appreciate its ability to schedule cleaning sessions and like its tool for scouring free space on a hard drive. For the especially security-minded, the program offers five algorithms for securely deleting files. Users who frequently cruise the Web at work can hide all open browser windows with a quick keystroke. R-Wipe & Clean offers tree and bar views of its straight-ahead interface. We found the first more convenient and the latter more aesthetically pleasing. All in all, if you don't mind the relatively short 15-day trial, R-Wipe & Clean represents a quality pick.Publisher's description

Version: R-Wipe & Clean 8.5
"Complete solution to wipe useless files and keep your"
Pros: This program cleans all and plenty. It will also wipes out cookies (or let you keep ones you want), cleans up traces left behind by the programs you use, and even deletes traces of the "prefetch" files Windows grabs to speed up your PC.
Cons: I have just downloaded this product less than a week ago. So far I have found no problems with the system.
Summary: All files and folders selected are erased in a single click. I like the scheduling tool for clearing up my computer. About 3 months ago I began social networking this is the exact system I needed for my computer. I am not sure how I even found it... read more >>
