Description
ViaCleaner protects your Internet privacy by removing Internet records from your computer. This privacy software and cache cleaner removes the files on a user's computer that track activities and log information, such as Internet cache files, temporary Internet files, Internet cookies, and temporary typed URL history in browsers. The program helps to clear disc space. Clean your computer's Recycle Bin, and Registry, erase tracks of Web activities, and delete such files as recently visited documents and recently visited lists in a variety of applications.
Review
Even though this computer-cleaning application keeps pace with its competitors in terms of features, the parsimonious trial restriction makes it tough for us to fully evaluate or recommend it. Upon launch, we were a bit miffed ViaCleaner made us surrender our personal information to use the demo. We found the interface logically arranged, although the main window can't be resized for better configuring a cleaning session. Similar to most decent privacy tools, this program deletes your usage history from Internet Explorer and Netscape, various Windows system areas, and third-party applications, such as media players. However, the list of supported third-party programs isn't as extensive as some competitors, omitting several popular IM and P2P clients. However, ViaCleaner's real downfall is the trial version disables just about all of its functionality. You can clean out system areas, such as the clipboard and the Recycle Bin, but you can't even wipe away traces of your surfing history. Therefore, this program doesn't make a compelling case for itself when judged against its numerous competitors.
