Editors' Review

This simple tool will clean up your online traces, but it's far from a complete privacy solution. Although the word Pro in the application's title may lead you to believe it's much more powerful than the Lite version, that's not the case; the only difference seems to be this one can clean up DAT files. The program's tabbed structure makes it fairly simple to navigate, but many users may find its drab design unappealing. Complete Internet Cleanup Pro wipes away your surfing tracks from both Internet Explorer and Mozilla, but it doesn't support other popular browsers such as Opera and AOL. Similar to many programs in this class, this one also can perform basic Windows cleaning chores by emptying the Recycle Bin, the temp folder, and the Run Menu history. Unfortunately, though, you don't get support for third-party apps such as chat programs, P2P apps, media players, or toolbars. Securely shredding files also is not an option. The five-day period seems too short to us, particularly in light of the program's rather limited functionality. Users who don't know how to manually delete their surfing history might appreciate this program's simplicity, but most others will choose to keep looking.

Developer's Description

Remove user activity tracks and clean the hard disk from junk files.

PCMesh Internet and Disk Cleanup is a utility to remove user activity tracks and to clean the hard disk from junk files. Windows logs user activity in several locations of which the most important ones are:index.dat files which log user's Internet activity such as the addresses of visited websites, a copy of those sites and received cookiesl; UserAssist registry key which logs local activities such as files which have been opened; Windows provides no functionality to clear those logs; Other areas where user activity tracks are left include files searched, documents opened, memory contents saved to pagefile (swapfile). PCMesh Internet Cleanup clears all of those tracks with a single click.

Furthermore PCMesh Internet Cleanup provides disk cleanup functionality to remove Windows and Internet temporary files, Java cache and other junk files. Another security functionality contained is files shredding which means to overwrite files a number of times and finally delete them. Users can use file shredding to destroy their sensitive files securely. Version 6.2 adds Clearing of Adobe Flash and Apple Quicktime cache functions.
