*Privacy Software

There are many different programs (software) which can 'cover your tracks'. Most of these have to be bought, some produce free versions with fewer features. Most similar products can be downloaded directly from the manufacturer or bought online from shops such as amazon.co.uk. Most highstreet software shops will also sell privacy software of some kind.

FREE software such as I.E. Privacy Keeper or SecretMaker is available. For more examples, try using your favourite search engine such as google.co.uk to search for free privacy software.

Examples of commercial track-covering software are: Windows Washer, Cyberscrub, Acronis Privacy Expert. Although you have to pay for programs like these they mostly offer good customer support and more features.



* The information and program examples given above may not completely hide your tracks. Many browser types have features that display recently visited sites. The safest way to find information on the internet, would be at a local library, a friend's house, or at work.

Macintosh users may find that (instead of pulling down the 'tools' menu and going to 'Options') they must pull down to the 'Internet Explorer' or 'Firefox' or 'Netscape' menu and select the Preferences option.

(Use of any online 'cleaning service' or software packages is at your own risk - we recommend them but cannot guarantee they will work or be responsible if they cause a problem on your computer.)
