When you use the computer, you leave traces behind. If you’re the type of person who cares about privacy, you will want to remove these traces. There’s one other reason why you may want to remove these traces: performance. The traces you leave behind are nothing but junk files that weight down your PC. So if you care about performance, you will want to get rid of these trash files.
You can do precisely that with the properly good application Privacy Eraser. You can use this application to remove all the traces you leave behind and all the junk files that weigh down your PC. Furthermore, you can use Privacy Eraser to securely delete data and to manage startup applications.

The system requirements for running Privacy Eraser are: Intel/AMD or other compatible processor, at least 512MB of RAM memory, 10MB of free disk space or more, Windows operating system. Support is provided for 32 and 64-bit Windows editions, all versions from Windows 8 and 7 down to Windows 2003 and XP.
There is nothing complicated about installing Privacy Eraser on a PC that meets the aforementioned system requirements. It’s a standard process, as a matter of fact. Just download an installer, run it, and click through the instructions presented by a setup wizard. You’ll be done in no time at all.

Privacy Eraser features a dark-themed interface that is quite good looking and very easy to navigate. The buttons on the left hand side allow you to easily access all the functionality Privacy Eraser has to offer. You can use these buttons to choose what Windows elements will be covered in the scan, to access the built-in File Shredder, to view which applications automatically run at startup, and more.

To be able to remove the traces you leave behind, Privacy Eraser has to scan your system. The scan covers numerous areas and elements: Start Menu Run history, thumbnail cache, temporary files, memory dumps, browser cookies, internet cache, and more. Once the scan completes, you can pick one of three options: quick clean, clean and restart, clean and shutdown. You can set it so Privacy Eraser will automatically clean your PC at startup. You can also set up a schedule and clean your PC based on that schedule.

Privacy Eraser comes with a built-in file shredder and a built-in drive wiper. Use the file shredder to securely and permanently delete files. Use the drive wiper to securely delete spare and hidden data areas on your drives.
Privacy Eraser also comes with a feature that allows you to manage all the applications that automatically launch at startup.

Privacy Eraser provides support for hotkeys. Keyboard shortcuts can be used to access the clean and restart function, the Stealth Mode, the Boss mode, and more.

Privacy Eraser is available as a Free and as a Pro version.

Privacy Eraser nicely blends together good looks, ease of use, and useful functionality. Use the application to remove junk files, to securely delete files, to manage applications that launch at startup. Privacy Eraser will help you protect your privacy and will help your PC run at top performance.
