IEraseTraces

IEraseTraces is a privacy protection tool that helps you erase any activity traces, such as files, folder, registry keys, clipboard contents, and browsing history with ease.

The application is packed in a straightforward interface and, even though it has advanced functions, it can be configured with as little effort as possible by any type of users, even those less familiarized with this kind of software.

All you have to do is scan your computer for the items that you want completely removed and erase the traces. Once the search is over you can view details, such as total size on disk, number of files and subdirectories. From the results panel you can select what files to keep and remove.

During the deletion task, a progress bar is shown to inform you about the completion status.

IEraseTraces gives you the possibility to choose one of the two available disk wipe methods: “Zero Fill (1 loop)” provides fast wipe data but most of the information deleted this way can be recovered using specialized data recovery apps, while “Goverment (100 loops)” is superior in efficiency but slower. You can wipe the entire drive or just the free space, as well as ask the tool to monitor and show real-time reports.

It can be used to remove traces from a large variety of programs, such as Internet browsers, instant messengers, downloaders, Netscape, and system.

Last but not least, the utility can be set to run at Windows startup, start minimized to system tray, or integrate into shell context menus.

Taking all things into consideration, even though it is a complex application that works with a wide range of files and programs, IEraseTraces was successful in our tests in eliminating usage traces.
