Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Windows Eraser effectively clears online and offline traces from your computer, but only works with Internet Explorer. The program's customizable interface lays out each cleaning area for simple check box selection. Internet traces such as cookies, the address bar history, auto-complete form data, passwords, and temporary files are easily wiped away. You'll also say goodbye to unwanted traces left in key Windows system areas. Additionally, we're impressed with the long list of third-party applications Windows Eraser supports, including ACDSee, Adobe, MSN and Yahoo messengers, and Microsoft Office.
In our tests, the program demonstrated fast and accurate cleanings, and we appreciate the secured algorithms for permanent file deletion. Also of note is the advanced scheduling tool. Windows Eraser is feature-rich, but we would have liked to see support for other browser types. The short 10-day trial is another negative, but Windows Eraser can help any IE user remove Web-surfing and other computer traces.

Version: Windows Eraser 1.1
Pros: I was looking for a good cleaning tool and found this one to be excellent. It cleans out all the windows and internet explorer history files and even cleans out various other programs when plug-ins are enabled. Works great to clean out Windows XP and does it quickly!! Thumbs Up!
Cons: Not at all!
