Privacy Defender

Privacy Defender is a small software application whose purpose is to help you remove traces left behind during web browsing sessions. The tool is able to deal with cookies, history, file cache, and other remnants.

The utility reveals a simplistic environment where most of the actions are automated to simple clicks. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can venture into learning how to tweak the program on your own because the configuration settings look easy to handle.

Privacy Defender works with the following web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

The application gives you the possibility to automatically perform a scan task in order to detect if there are any browsing items present on your system. In order to scan and remove all privacy items, all web browsers need to be closed so make sure you save important data before activating this mode.

Tests have shown that Privacy Defender carries out the scan process very quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. During a scan you can check out details about the total number of identified items. Plus, you are allowed to stop the scan anytime.

A scan report is revealed at the end of the process, containing information about the item type (e.g. cache, cookie, download manager list, form history, saved passwords) and number of items found in each category. You may select the traces that you want to remove.

To sum things up, Privacy Defender provides a simple software solution for helping you find and delete all traces of your web browsers. The intuitive feature package makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
