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 2.3.8.1 is compatible with Firefox 1.5.0.1 and fixes RegSvr32 bug.

Version: Wash N' Go 2.3.8.1
"Cleans up your internet tracks fast!"
Pros: Wash N'Go is a good utility that does everything the publisher claims. I would recommend that you leave the wash settings in default, and not change them if you are a novice. You could wash away your favorites and other important items if you change the default settings. All the features work in the free trial. I like it better than Webroots Window Washer. Try it! 5 Stars and two thumbs up!
Cons: Well, it's not free

Version: Wash N' Go 2.3.8.1
"demo works great, then falls apart"
Pros: Easy to use, file shredding works great, nice to be able to choose from levels of washing
Cons: worked great during the demo period. After purchasing license it started to have problems. As suggested by Redleg, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times. It wouldn't recognize or wash windows media player anymore. Then it started freezing up and wouldn't respond. I would have to shut down with task manager and restart computer. Tech support takes a long time to respond and when they do, it is a one to two sentence response, usually not addressing the problem. They never did take care of my problem with media player. Going to look for a new window washing program.
