Tracks Eraser Pro Review

Tracks Eraser Pro may not have all the features the leading players in the privacy game offer, but at least it has the most important ones.  Besides deleting files from your Windows registry and utilities and clearing your Internet files (caches, histories, etc.) you can also utilize any of 100 plug-ins to clear unwanted data from your favorite applications (Real Player, Quicktime, Microsoft Office, Acrobat, Winzip).  Delete histories alone for as many as 100 other applications as well.

Effectiveness
Effectiveness

Medium-effective as compared with Window Washer or Evidence Eliminator (but also easier for the average person to use)

This program tidies and straightens more than it scours and scrubs

 

 
Ease of Use
Ease of Use

Test mode, giving you a preview of what would be erased before actually erasing it, is an incredibly handy feature for beginners.

Price

Tracks Eraser ($19.95) – pared down, bare bones version; includes Test Mode, Boss Key, and Homepage Protection but NO plug-ins, No Scheduling, NO Secure Erasing, NO Stealth Mode, NO Free Space cleaning, as well as an absence of many other key features.  This version is only going to make you want to upgrade to Pro, so you may as well start there.

Tracks Eraser Pro ($29.95) – includes everything mentioned in this review
