What an Internet Eraser Software does

The answer depends on what kind of a person you are; if you love details, I can speak till the end of the current year describing and explaining the legacy of the Internet Eraser software; if you are the kind who prefers giving instructions to see your job getting done swiftly, perhaps a couple of minutes shall be enough to provide an entire account. However, the learned say it’s better to follow the middle path; therefore, I embark on the process of providing the to-the-point details.

To know what an Internet eraser (also, a privacy eraser software, as termed colloquially) does, you must first know what these software are all about. They are programs created to conceal your inner demon (or child) from the public eye by not letting the hidden truths to come out in broad daylight. Does that sound a bit poetic? You bet; but truth it is and irrespective of whichever form it is presented, it stays a truth. But now, we must see how these software help to keep the information away.

Anything we do in a computer stays mapped over the memory and the maps are saved automatically within the hard disk for future use. All that eats up the system’s resources, leaving less space for other important tasks. As a result, the machine turns slower every passing day – if you think that an OS as recent as the Windows Vista can take care of the problems, you are wrong – for every OS is designed to keep certain information stored. You may view the information in detail inside the C:WindowsPrefetch folder or within the Temp folders; however, it is the same thing that happens – they just eat up the space.

An Internet or privacy eraser software frees up these space by deleting permanently all the usage history. Some even take the things higher by adding plug-ins like passes that comply with the Defense standards; what gets deleted by using the passes is practically irrecoverable, unlike the standard Shift + Del method. This is because Windows XP / Vista saves every bit of information in the index.dat file within the system registry.

Thus, to clean every piece of unwanted information, an Internet eraser software:

? Cleans the Cache.
? Cleans the Cookies (except the ones that are spared by the user’s choice).
? The Internet browser's History, thus deleting the name and the address of the sites that had been visited.
? Search histories.
? Auto Complete Data Forms.
? Temp folders (including Windows Temp and Temporary Internet files).
? Windows Prefetch Folders that consists of memory mappings from software usage.

If you calculate how much space these useless information kept occupied since the day you brought your PC in, chances are that even an entire coffee plantation won’t suffice. Thus, leave it in the hands of the automated Internet eraser software while you relax and watch in glee the re-incarnation of your precious, little system. It shall be a clean up per se!
