Reviewed by: CNET staff on April 20, 2009
Erasing your Internet history is important for anyone wishing to keep personal data and private information a secret. Tracks Eraser Pro promises to be a simple, one step way, to keep your history so clean that hackers will have nothing to work with.
This program is as simple as it promises. With a short menu of options, there are few opportunities for users to get confused and frustrated, which is happily unlike many erasing programs. There is a menu listing everything that is to be cleaned--from cookies to IP addresses to specific Web site passwords. By pressing the Erase button, this screen comes to life showing what is being inspected. When the program finishes, a status screen describes how many files were cleaned, how many registry keys were released, and how much space was freed.
If users want a more customized program, there are options for that as well. There is a tab that allows you to select individual areas to target, instead of the entire bulk. There are also built-in security options to give your computer an edge. In addition, there are opportunities to organize a scheduler that turns the Eraser on automatically.
One unexpected bonus was a File Shredder option. While this doesn't look as impenetrable as some dedicated shredder downloads, it does its job and is a nice extra.
Overall, Tracks Eraser Pro is a great download for people seeking to increase their security and make theft harder for online predators.
