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.
Wash N' Go has an IE cookie, the IE ActiveX/Spyware Manager, Mail, and the Task Manager for automatic washes. You can create your own objects to wash. 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 2.3.2.1 features adjustments for new Firefox 1.0.1 and Netscape beta 8.0.

Version: Wash N' Go 2.3.2.1
"Good program if you are looking to destroy your system"
Pros: blows up your system with no effort.
Cons: It seems to have modified my Registry or infected my system with some virus so I can no longer run Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, or read e-mail in Outlook. So far, they haven't answered my e-mail inquires.
