The motto One Step Ahead greets you as you open Zero Trace, and that slogan rings absolutely true, as this privacy application trumps most of its competition. Basically, the interface consists of three major sections labeled Options, Cookies, and Shredder. Options handles most files you'll want to erase, including those from the system, Web browsers, IM clients, and any plug-ins. This application's support for plug-ins is its strongest feature, since it can clean up after a variety of applications. The section for messaging also handles any Outlook Express file you might want to delete. The only complaint we have with the skinnable interface is that browsers and cookies are separate, which seems counterintuitive. Even though it takes a while for you to set its options, the program takes only seconds to collect and destroy data with a single mouse click. The 10-day trial period is a bit stingy, but the program isn't limited in any way. Zero Trace works its magic perfectly, so we think it's an excellent choice for anyone wishing to cover his or her tracks.

Pros
Hard to say since I didnt get that far.
Cons
I just downloaded this and started to install it - my spyware checker immediately went nuts telling me that it was trying to install something called "IAmBigBrother". I looked it up and its not even a normal piece of spyware. . its a damn keylogger. Avoid this like the plague.

Pros
Seems to erase everything flawlessly, and also has an easy shred option. I'm very happy with this product and will probably shell out the cash for it. Spyware and Adware free.

Uninstaller Problems
Cad_1.0November 22, 2005
Pros
Cons
From the reviews I read, I am not about to try it because the uninstaller tries to change your viarious settings. Why can't these companies make a program with out changing my settings? The only reason for the one star is because there is no way to give it a zero star.
Summary
Uninstaller attempts to change IE privacy settings and install adware
sbaitOctober 26, 2005
Pros
Seemed to clean thoroughly, although the interface doesn't show you what is being deleted, unlike competitors. I wouldn't trust the developers of this program.
Cons
The uninstaller attempts to install adware/spyware and change IE privacy/security settings.
Summary
Installed it, clicked on it, program never opened, even tried reinstalling it.

Pros
uh, it didn't crash my computer??? Since it won't open, what else can I say??
Cons
Zero Trace is a good name for this program... there is zero trace of it existing as a program. So since it didn't open, it didn't clean anything very well.
