“Hide traces on your PC from the public eye”

by Amber Sass about Steganos Trace Destructor

Steganos Trace Destructor locates and eradicates all instances of detectable traces on your PC to keep it safer.

In these days of freedom of information and electronic invasions of privacy, it sometimes seems that anyone can find out what you’re up to anywhere on the web. Most of us don’t have much to hide, but the concept of someone nosing around what you’ve been doing on your PC is still an uncomfortable one. Steganos Trace Destructor is designed to help you cover your digital tracks without having to dig through your folders and alter your browser preferences. And it even does it with considerable gusto.

As Steganos tends to do with many of its security apps, Steganos Trace Destructor is pretty simple to use since it has a one-window interface. You only have to mark off the type of evidence you want Steganos Trace Destructor to remove and hit the big Start Trace Destruction button. Evidence you can choose from includes recently opened documents and temporary internet files, among other things. Once Steganos Trace Destructor is finished there will be no indication to the outside world that you've done anything with those particular files on your PC. You can also choose to eliminate all of these history-revealing files from your computer, which should provide you total peace of mind.

Trace removal is generally a swift process, and that's the case here with Steganos Trace Destructor too. Unfortunately, Steganos Trace Destructor doesn’t generate a report to say what has been deleted, which can make it difficult to track what was wiped. That aside, Steganos Trace Destructor has some neat features, such as a content alarm that provides automatic checks for adult material on your machine, and a shredder for the complete destruction of files. The latter is very useful, as Windows is notorious for leaving breadcrumbs of evidence even when you think you’ve deleted a file.

Steganos Trace Destructor is a fantastic trace deletion tool for users of all levels of PC competency.

Pros
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Content alarm for detecting adult material
  • Powerful file shredding capabilities
Cons
  • Doesn’t produce reports of traces destroyed

Developer's description

When you surf the net, your browser stores data on the pages visited on your computer. This information (e.g. cookies, history data or temporary Internet files) sometimes saves you time and effort, but it also allows other people to identify you, to keep track of your activity on the net or of the pages in which you were interested. Especially in the last few years, public agencies and the industry have become increasingly acquisitive. The industry is mainly interested in one thing - money. The advertising market on the Internet is hotly contested. Every click on an advertising banner means money. User behavior is consequently observed, personal user profiles are created and stored.

Even when you work locally with your computer, traces are left behind that can be found by other users. Even if you are not suffering from persecution mania: Do not leave data traces on your PC. It is your privacy. Do not let it be destroyed.
