<description><![CDATA[sauerkraut:
BCWipe has long been a graphical program. The BCWipe control panel has many options to automatically wipe folders including IE/FireFox history and cache. You also have the added context menus to manually wipe any file at any time. 
Beyond that you can wipe free space, slack space, paging files.... all in just 3 clicks in the control BCW panel.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you are concerned about privacy and were interested in this program you should try WIPE 
WIPE is a similar program.
It is free and has frequent updates.
You may prefer it to History Killer.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<b>CAUTION:  Saved Settings were lost upong Reboot!!<b>
Auto update was repeatedly turned off and saved - yet when I rebooted this setting was turned on again.  Is this a Bug or is this a ploy to lose the free Give Away version??]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#17--using IE6 is like having a sign out saying "Hack me".  It is very critical for the security of your computer to update to IE7 or IE8 now.

#12 - Amen about not relying on any one cleaner even if it's CCleaner, as I have found that Privacy Guardian and CCleaner both will clean some things that the other leaves behind, usually about a dozen or so each.  I also let each of them wipe free space on the disk on the theory that if they miss stuff elsewhere they may miss something on the disk too.  Not that I'm paranoid or anything, just that either you get it or not.  Now I could go off the deep end and use East Tec Eraser on top of them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi, got a 502 bad gateway, so I wasn't sure my comment went through.
So here it is again:

The setting to automatically update history killer is default, remember to uncheck this in settings so registration does not get invalidated, as most programs here do not include updates. The ones that do usually are clear in stating they are exception to the no update rule.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My threepence worth.....

I use CCleaner (have since the days of it's original name, Crap Cleaner), and Advanced System Care. CCleaner updates regularly, and the current version allows for MFT wipe as well as the cleaning out of temporary files, etc; ASC is good for defragging and checking on security settings. While there are many alternatives including GAOTD current offer, I think my CC/ASC combo is a good balance.  I am not paranoid, but I clean up the computer regularly for performance and space considerations: comp is old and tweaking it is important to maximise performance.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One reason to like History Killer Pro is that it's not CCleaner. While that might invite a lot of disagreement, please consider this: CCleaner is powerful enough to do some real damage (cleaning the entire registry for example)... I don't know about you, but I can think of several people I wouldn't/won't recommend CCleaner to for just that reason. History Cleaner Pro is quick, easy, hits many (most?) of the basics, and is IMHO ideal for those folks who never clean out their browser cache, let alone their temp folders [in fact, many do not even know you can]. 

Installing History Killer Pro doesn't effect Windows much, though it does install to an odd place: under <em>UserProfile</em> Application Data in XP's Docs &amp; Settings. I had problems initially with registration, checking the box during install to run the app immediately on clicking "Finish"... it read the key from the earlier GOTD version, then said it couldn't contact the needed server -- shutting down then restarting the app it registered just fine. 

Now a couple of folks normally comment that cleaning up your tracks so-to-speak, is just for those with something to hide &amp; someone to hide them from. Well that's true enough, BUT, sometimes a small dose of paranoia is a good thing... For one thing, if (heaven forbid) someone managed to plant a bot or otherwise gain access to your system, they can't grab anything sensitive if there's nothing sensitive there to grab. And if you do anything work related on a PC/laptop, that brings up all sorts of issues, like can your employer legally go through everything stored on your drive(s) [I don't pretend to have *any* legal knowledge, but Google &amp; you'll likely find enough info on actual legal cases to at least raise your eyebrows]. 

In a nutshell, cleaning up after yourself is never a bad thing. Not leaving anything behind when/where possible is even better, though it helps to remember that deleting files &amp;/or caches doesn't prevent or eliminate shadow file copies or un-erased data. Consider that most people have no way of knowing if their PC/laptop was ever compromised, unless or until the person(s) responsible does something to catch your attention. Being a little paranoid as tax season approaches may not be an entirely bad thing for any of us.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[watch out when trying some of these "history killer" type of programs...i used something called MRU Blaster a few months ago and it deleted all kinds of useful data, like my Start Menu's "10 most often used program list" and some others..(yeah, my fault for not investigating the program enough)...CCleaner, on the other hand, has never caused me any problems under the default setup...]]></description>
