Benefits of Privacy Eraser?
Maybe you don't realize that Windows and third-party applications store history about your activities, what documents you have read, what websites you have visited, what images and movies you have viewed, and a variety of other activities you have performed.
The Windows built-in privacy features will not protect you, and most of the history can not even be deleted. The result is that anyone can see precisely what you have been doing on your computer, which may raise serious privacy concerns. In addition, much of this information takes up valuable hard drive space.
Cleaning up the history of these activities can be a tedious chore of manually removing each history file or entry - assuming you know which files to delete in the first place! If your privacy and hard drive space are to be maintained, this tiresome task must be performed every single time you use your computer. Our excellent all-in-one privacy suite, Privacy Eraser can automate this process for you!
How does Privacy Eraser work?
When you delete a file from Windows, Windows merely marks the file as deleted in the File Allocation Table. Contrary to what most users believe, no data is changed or overwritten and the file's contents still exist on your computer. There are also many tools available to allow your sensitive files to be recovered very easily. Privacy Eraser completely overwrites the contents of the file and then deletes it, so any undelete program (no matter how advanced) will never be able to recover it.
On top of that, the free space on a hard drive usually contains the contents of files that were previously deleted using standard Windows system commands. So even if you can not see them, the deleted files are still there. Privacy Eraser permanently erases all the data on the free space with several passes, ensuring that any deleted files can not be recovered by any third party software.
Can data erased by Privacy Eraser be recovered?
Privacy Eraser completely implements and exceeds the US Department of Defense and NSA clearing and sanitizing standard, to give you absolute confidence that once erased, your files are gone forever and can not be recovered.
Note: The US Department of Defense recommends 3 overwrites, NSA recommends 7 overwrites. The more times you specify, the longer the wipe cycle will take, especially for large files or hard drives.
Why does some browsing history exist, even after cleaning?
It is strongly recommended that you close all cases of Windows Explorer, browsers and other applications before cleaning, because some files can not be deleted when they are in use. For Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera, even you close all the windows of them, maybe their icons are still in the system tray (lower right of the screen). Please check the system tray to see if there is an icon of them, if you can find, please right click on it to close it.

Yes, it does. With multi-user profiles cleaning, you can easily clean multiple user accounts on a computer at once.
