What an Internet Eraser Software does

Internet usage erasing software – Which ones to go for?

To know what an Internet eraser (also, a privacy eraser software, as termed colloquially) does, you must first know what these software are all about. They are programs created to conceal your inner demon (or child) from the public eye by not letting the hidden truths to come out in broad daylight. Does that sound a bit poetic? You bet; but truth it is and irrespective of whichever form it is presented, it stays a truth. But now, we must see how these software help to keep the information away.

Anything we do in a computer stays mapped over the memory and the maps are saved automatically within the hard disk for future use. All that eats up the system’s resources, leaving less space for other important tasks. As a result, the machine turns slower every passing day – if you think that an OS as recent as the Windows Vista can take care of the problems, you are wrong – for every OS is designed to keep certain information stored. You may view the information in detail inside the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder or within the Temp folders; however, it is the same thing that happens – they just eat up the space.

An Internet or privacy eraser software frees up these space by deleting permanently all the usage history. Some even take the things higher by adding plug-ins like passes that comply with the Defense standards; what gets deleted by using the passes is practically irrecoverable, unlike the standard Shift + Del method. This is because Windows XP / Vista saves every bit of information in the index.dat file within the system registry.

Thus, to clean every piece of unwanted information, an Internet eraser software:

? Cleans the Cache.
? Cleans the Cookies (except the ones that are spared by the user’s choice).
? The Internet browser's History, thus deleting the name and the address of the sites that had been visited.
? Search histories.
? Auto Complete Data Forms.
? Temp folders (including Windows Temp and Temporary Internet files).
? Windows Prefetch Folders that consists of memory mappings from software usage.

There are a few such clean-up software that comply to the above points and we provided a brief account of each below:

? Anti Tracks: Considered a complete solution towards privacy protection and an enhanced performance, Anti Tracks does not only erase Internet usage tracks beyond the capabilities of advanced recovery tools, but also deletes completely every computer activity record and program history that remain stored as hidden files on the hard disk of a computer. Compatible with all the popular Internet browsers.

? Ghost Surf Platinum: This one is more of a camouflage software that prevents the formation of the unwanted files. This Internet usage eraser software ensures online safety by encrypting an Internet connection other than stopping spyware, adware and erasing any previous tracks. Allows customizing the privacy levels to suit real-time surfing needs.

? CyberScrub Pro: A clean up software to purge, wipe and erase all sensitive data beyond the point of recovery by even Defense-grade tools.
