CNET Editors' review
In our analysis, Speed Tracks Eraser stands out as a fine all-purpose PC privacy solution. Similar to most applications designed to clean your computer, this one deletes Web-surfing history, such as typed URLs and temporary Internet files. It also supports Opera and Netscape, in addition to Internet Explorer. The program can erase tracks from certain areas of Windows' system and is compatible with a number of third-party apps, including Yahoo Messenger, WinZip, and MusicMatch. You can even make your own plug-ins if Speed Tracks Eraser doesn't have a particular application on its built-in list. The secure file shredder can overwrite data up to 10 times but won't let you choose from a list of government-sponsored algorithms. However, the ability to immediately hide all browser windows with a hot key and schedule cleaning sessions helps us overlook that tiny flaw. All active computer users concerned with privacy will definitely benefit from what this program provides.

"No trial period"
Version: Speed Tracks Eraser 1.70
Pros
None - was unable to test
Cons
After installing the software I received message "0 days left of the trial period". I am 100% sure it's the first time I've downloaded this product - I've never used any of the track erasing software before at all.
