CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This privacy utility offers just about every feature we like to see in this type of application. The cleverly designed interface, which mimics a box of laundry detergent, is a big point in this program's favor. Similar to virtually all applications in this class, Wash N' Go cleans out your browser's temporary files, cache, cookies, and typed URLs. It's great the program now supports many Web browsers beyond Internet Explorer, including Firefox, Opera, and NetCaptor. The application also can wipe traces from common Windows system areas, including the Clipboard and the Run menu. It includes a file shredder, giving you multiple ways to securely delete files. The list of supported third-party applications seems quite comprehensive and includes support for popular IM clients and design programs. The ability to schedule cleaning sessions and to run the program in stealth mode are big pluses, though some users might find the 11-day trial period rather short. Average Web surfers looking to hide their traces likely will find this program offers just about everything they need.Publisher's description
From RedLeg Software :Wash N' Go is a system-cleaning tool that securely wipes your system and Internet-surfing traces, including passwords and credit card data. The program supports 10 browsers (Internet Explorer, Advanced, Avant, Enigma, Firefox, Maxthon, NetCaptor, Netscape, Opera, and Slim Browser). It cleans more than 30 Windows system areas, 10 MS Office programs, and more than 50 popular Internet-related software programs. Wash N' Go has eight integrated levels of secure deletion, such as #0 overwrite, military (U.S. DoD 5220.22-M, NISPOM, NSA), and the full 39 steps of Dr P. Gutmann. The program comes with the file/folder shredder Vanish, also available as a right-click menu option in Windows Explorer. Wash N' Go has multilanguage support and supports multiple users.
Version 2.4.3.1 adds Windows Startup Programs removal tool.

Version: Wash N' Go 2.4.3.1
Pros: Well, this one can clean some wastes in my PC.
Cons: It freezes when it cleans my IE activeX/Spyware folder and cannot recover unless you kill WASH N GO's process.
Annoying pop up FLASH my eyes when I start my PC.
This is not a USER-FRIENDLY ONE.
Uses a lot of system resources compare to other cleaner.
I recommend to use CCleaner than this one.

Version: Wash N' Go 2.4.3.1
Pros: not one thing
Cons: this software might be ok but i think it is over rated. for one if you make any changes in the options you will be sorry. do not download this software like i said if you make any changes in the options you will be sorry. it makes a whole different file on your hard drive for those changes you make. then when you go to unstall the program it will not uninstall. it will show an error. good luck finding that file it took me the better part of 2 hrs. to get this off my hard drive. i put in a search for it and found some of it. but still failed to get it off. i tried everything you can think of to find and get rid of it. take my word for it. the web site has no support what so ever no contact info or nothing. and also you will find it tells you about this problem on the site. it tells you that you can manually take it out good luck. any product i have a h--- of a time getting it off my hard drive sucks in my books.
