Description:
Webroot's Window Washer wipes clean your Internet history and PC activity by eliminating cookies, cache, history files, auto complete forms, recently viewed items, and much more. It also helps you boost system performance by eliminating Internet clutter. During a standard run on our system, Window Washer cleaned out nearly 12,000 files and freed up over 75 MB of disk space. Of course, many of these files can be advantageous during browsing, such as cookie files that keep track of login information on your favorite Web sites. For example, my Netflix login info was wiped out by Window Washer the first time I used it. But the program also includes a neat little feature called Cookie Keeper that lets you peruse a list of cookies on your system and decide which ones to save. I logged back in to Netflix, then told Window Washer to keep their cookie. Subsequent washings skipped over the file. Window Washer also offers a "bleaching" feature that will overwrite files up to 10 times to ensure that they can't be recovered via an undelete utility. In addition to cleaning standard programs like Netscape and Internet Explorer, you can download plug-ins for up to 150 other applications like RealPlayer and Juno, so Window Washer can clean these as well. We grabbed the Opera plug-in--only 80 KB in size--and it took just a few seconds to install it to be used in the next wash. Best of all, Window Washer takes up less than 10 MB of space on your system. It's easy to use, it can be set to automatically wash your system periodically, and it's an inexpensive way to add peace of mind to your PC. --J. Curtis
