Description
Protect your privacy while surfing the Internet, recover hard-drive space, easily clean up the history of your activities on your PC and the Internet, and remove useless files that accumulate from uninstallations. You can schedule this application to run at regular intervals and automatically remove temporary Internet files, traces of your Internet activities, the history of sites visited, and other unnecessary files.
Review
Although this program lacks some features we like to see in a dedicated privacy application, it does provide several handy tools for clearing junk files from your hard drive. 1Cleanup's interface may confuse newcomers, as it's littered with many tiny icons and isn't very well organized. On the privacy front, the program basically clears away your Web-surfing tracks from Opera, Internet Explorer, and Netscape browsers. However, unlike many of its brethren, 1Cleanup can't wipe away your history from such system areas as the Run menu and the Recycle Bin, and it unfortunately doesn't support the cleaning of third-party apps such as IM clients or the Microsoft Office suite. We'd also like to see a secure file shredder for irrecoverably erasing data. Despite these omissions, we did like the program's tools for eradicating junk data such as temporary files and broken shortcuts. 1Cleanup will be useful for those with bloated hard drives, though persons seeking a comprehensive privacy app may want to keep looking.
