Privacy Eraser Pro Review

Besides clearing what every other product clears just as well, Privacy Eraser comes with over 200 plugins to clean up your favorite and most commonly used applications, like ACDSee, Kazaa, ICQ, Real Player, MSN Messenger, Acrobat, Microsoft Office and more.  Privacy eraser eliminates all evidence of your surfing activity from your cache, cookies, browser histories, drop down address bar/location bar, auto-complete data forms, and Index.dat files.  And all that it performs (this and more), it does to U.S. Department of Defense and NSA standards.  It’s most consumer-friendly feature, perhaps, is Boss Mode, allowing people to instantly wipe all evidence of Privacy Eraser from their desktop and replace it with whatever application they’re “supposed to” be running.
