Free Tool to Protect your Privacy on Internet - WIPE

Very low percentage to Internet Users are well aware of DOs and DONTs things while surfing the web. Due to lack of this knowledge most the users become victim of hackers! If you are one of them then Hackers can easily monitor your passwords of all accounts that you have on internet e.g. banks accoutns, mail acccounts etc, Cookies and browsing histories etc.

To prevent your activities and personal information from being hacked, I have found a good and FREE tool (WIPE) which is developed to serve these purposes.

WIPE only removes the data which can be private and may harm your privacy such as, clearing browser history and cache, cleaning index.dat files, removing cookies, deleting autocomplete history and temporary internet files and erasing any other tracks that you leave behind after having used your pc.
The Best thing of WIPE is Only the evidence of your activities, which is recorded and stored by your computer without your permission, is erased - no user documents are deleted!

Besides these you can do more with WIPE as listed Below.
  • You can preview all programs that may contain personal data you do not want to share, and block them.
  • You can select/de-select the files to be deleted or not. 

  • You can LOCK the Screen with WIPE.
  • WIPE Supports many of the programs and removes all traces of you online and offline activities in Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7, in the most popular browsers Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera.
Think twice while selecting data to be removed with WIPE, because the data removed with WIPE is no recoverable. But when WIPE Searched and listed files from my PC to be deleted, I didn't find any thing that needed to be saved in PC.
