Wiper Wizard 2.7

To my mind, privacy is important. The thing is that it is not always that easy to protect your privacy. Your computer for example stores information about what you do and your browser remembers the sites you visited while surfing the web. Luckily enough there are specialized applications out there that can get rid of the traces you leave behind while using the computer – and thus protect your privacy.

One such application is the PCPrivacySoftware-developed Wiper Wizard. This application will scan for and remove the traces you left behind while using the computer and while surfing the web. Furthermore, this application can get rid of useless junk files that needlessly take up space on your hard drive.

To better put things in perspective, here is the functionality you can expect to get from Wiper Wizard:
- Remove junk files from the system (from a specific drive or from a specific folder)
- Select folders to be excluded during the remove junk files process
- Remove various info the Windows operating system stores: Windows Explorer Registry Streams, Windows Desktop Registry Streams, User Track History, application logs, common dialog Open Save Recent History, Recent Document shortcut, temporary files.
- Remove web surfing traces: typed URL history, cookies, History, cache files.
- Remove various Explorer and Start Menu info – Run history, Find Files history, Find Computer history, Start Menu click history, Recent Documents history, Network browsing history, Windows Explorer OCX Streams, Printer Streams history.
- Clear the history of Paint files you opened.
- Clear the history of Windows Media Player files you opened.
- Clear the history about WordPad files you opened
- Locate and delete duplicate files
- Securely delete files so that no data recovery tool can bring them back to life.

To sum it all up, Wiper Wizard does three things:
1 – It removes junk files from your system, recovering disk space.
2 – It removes info about your computer usage and browsing habits.
3 – It securely deletes files so they cannot be recovered.

Before you get Wiper Wizard, take a look at these technical details:
Download – the download weighs in at little over 1MB, which means it will complete in no time at all.
Installation – it is recommended that you install Wiper Wizard on Windows XP.
Limitations – the trial version will detect junk files and so on, but will not remove them.

Pros

• Good looking interface
• Useful “Help” file
• Fast
• Secure delete feature

Cons
