ParetoLogic Software offers a product, Privacy Controls, designed to protect computer users and their critical data from Internet thieves and prying eyes.
Privacy Controls permanently wipes Internet-browsing data from hard drives including cookies, browser histories, passwords, financial account numbers, PINs, and credit card information. In addition, Privacy Controls erases files related to Instant Messaging, media players, P2P applications, desktop searches, recently opened files, and more. In short, it covers up a user's tracks.
The majority of today's computer users are upstanding citizens doing nothing wrong. However, they resent leaving a trail of their computer usage. Anyone with access to a user's computer can quickly discover the user's confidential information. While it's convenient having the computer store information such as user names and passwords, another user can easily come along and infiltrate financial accounts or snoop around.

Other privacy products compete with Privacy Controls including Window Washer, Cyber Scrub, Evidence Eliminator, Internet Washer, and Privacy Eraser to name a few. Each of these products addresses the need for computer and Internet privacy - even for everyday computer users. With spyware running rampant and identity theft on the rise, the need for securing confidential data has never been higher. Each of these products serves a purpose. Many of the privacy applications are designed to cover up Internet surfing habits while others take protecting privacy even more seriously with features such as stealth operation, spyware detection, deletion overwrites, MS Office history deletion, and application log cleaning.
Computers store temporary and permanent information in cookies, logs, tables, history files, and dozens of other places that the average computer user would never know exist. However, those in the know can easily retrieve this confidential data including law enforcement personnel, employers, hackers, and snoops. Even recycling an old hard drive or unwanted computer can put a computer user's privacy at risk. By using privacy software, a computer user can keep their private data confidential.
