Mini Review: Tenebril Trackscleaner

Overview

Did you know that while you are viewing this Web site, your computer is quietly logging your activities? URLs visited, images viewed, search phrases entered, and so forth are being stored in various areas including Web histories, cookie folders, Temporary Internet Files, saved Address Bar entries, and more. Hackers and anyone else who accesses your computer can easily find out what you’ve been up to and even steal your personal information such as credit card numbers, passwords, and other sensitive information. If you’re uneasy about this, Tenebril TracksCleaner will clean up your tracks.

Features

Tenebril TracksCleaner is dedicated to one thing: cleaning up your tracks. Among the features found in this useful utility are:

• Varying wipe levels - Whether you want to quickly cleanup your tracks or need a more thorough cleansing, TracksCleaner delivers with varying levels of wiping ranging from quick to thorough.
• Unrecoverable deletion - TracksCleaner uses Department of Defense undelete technology to ensure that when you delete files, they are completely unrecoverable.
• Selective deletion - You may not want to delete ALL cookies and related files as these files often serve a useful function. TracksCleaner allows you to exclude files from wiping.
• Removes Web tracks and histories - Not only can you remove your Web tracks and histories on demand, you can set up regular schedules for scanning and wiping.

Benefits

By regularly cleaning up your Web tracks, you are ensuring that no one can get into your computer and discover your online histories. For example, if you purchased a product online and used your credit card number, it is conceivable that a hacker or a tech-savvy person with access to your computer could discover this information. With a product such as Tenebril TracksCleaner regularly cleaning up after you, these exploits are foiled.

Secure deletion features also ensure that these same snoops can’t use data recovery software to undelete the data. Once your tracks are cleaned, they are gone for good.

How it Works

While Windows provides a few tools for clearing out your Web history and temporary files, they do not permanently delete this data. Those in the know can still find out what you’ve been up to. However, when TracksCleaner is on the job, your Web history is gone for good. Once installed, you can set up TracksCleaner to work on a regular schedule to ensure that your computer will not reveal your history. This product is available for a low price.

Recommendations

Even if no one else has access to your computer, you can never be completely sure. Hackers and spyware can sneak on board and steal your information. One of the first places these malicious programs look for data is in your Web history files.

Mini Review: Tenebril MemoryBoost Pro

Your computer’s memory is one of the most noticeable, though intangible, features of your computer. When your computer has plenty of memory, it zips along just fine.

• Displays how much memory each program is using - so that you are better able to determine which programs should be shutdown.

Benefits

Lavasoft Digital Lock

Overview

If you need to send sensitive information electronically, there’s a chance that the file could be intercepted by someone other than your intended recipient. With Lavasoft Digital Lock, you can lock your files with strong encryption that can’t be cracked. Only those who hold the key can unlock the data within.

• Strong encryption including AES 256-bit encryption - This encryption technology ensures that only those who are intended to view the information have the ability to do so.
