CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.Publisher's description

Version: Speed Tracks Eraser 1.51.185
Pros: I like it due to it performing so quickly.
Cons: It moves so quickly that I've noticed that if I immediately run it again it has overlooked things that it picks up the second time around. And if the Speed Tracks site had some sort of support it would let me tell them that I've already purchased this software and should not be on evaluation status.Can you maybe help me with this?

Version: Speed Tracks Eraser 1.51.185
Pros: It cleans up pretty much everything that CCleaner misses.
Cons: But CCleaner gets almost everything; this is more of a "just-in-case CCleaner missed something" application. And it's not very attractive, to be honest.
