I'd like to address the publisher of this software:

Your software might be fabulous--I don't know, as I haven't tried it yet, although I plan to check it out later today. However, one thing that you may want to reevaluate is the name of the program itself: "Privacy Eraser" does not inspire the least bit of confidence. For one, it is semantically nonsensical. Your program is attempting to increase privacy, not "erase" it! In other words, privacy is the state we are trying to attain or achieve; it is the lack of privacy (i.e., the state of exposure, vulnerability, etc.) that we want to eliminate, or "erase." I happen to understand what your program seeks to do, however the name contradicts its underlying purpose.

I'm going to assume that English is not the development team's native language. There is, of course, no crime in that. But I see this issue all the time with desktop and mobile software, and I don't understand why a company wouldn't see it as a priority to hire or consult with someone who's conversant in the language of the country where you are attempting to market a product. (And I have some experience in this arena...I used to work at a company developing software with a large clientele in France, and we wouldn't dream of releasing major revisions before they had been vetted by a native French speaker--it was just a normal cost of business)

It's bad enough when ad copy doesn't make sense, but you are severely handicapping sales when the actual product name can be made subject to ridicule. And please keep in mind that even if others intuitively understand what the software does, as I did, just the fact that the product could be named so ineptly drastically lowers confidence in it (and the company behind it), which is particularly unfortunate if the software actually is very good.

I sincerely didn't mean to berate anyone at Cybertron or belabor the point further, but did want to make it clear that the name "Privacy Eraser" is ill-advised. It would be like a bank or financial institution coming out with an investment product called "The Money Eraser," or a diet product entitled "Weight Stimulator." Anyway, I'm no ad-man, but perhaps a step in the right direction would be a name like "Privacy Maximizer", or conversely "Exposure Eliminator." Something like... "Privacy Fortress" has a nice strong ring to it. But I respectfully suggest your team at Cybertron spend some time thinking it over and give this issue some thought.

Anyway, good luck with the giveaway.

Robert Garofalo a well-written and thought out comment. way too often there are products that do exactly as you say. they miss use words or phrases in their ads, spell incorrectly or use words that have a double meaning in english. a wise thing to do is have their copy proofread by a competent, english-speaker. thanks Robert.

Installed and registered, if I recall correctly registration is done by clicking upgrade to pro on the help menu.

A readable but mud coloured interface; under Settings it is worth changing the Update selection which is under General, Automation.

A quick scan found many residual bits of information on my system, unfortunately there was not enough information about each of them to make me feel comfortable in removing them.

At $79 and more in-depth understanding of what will be removed should in my opinion the included and because it isn't I haven't the confidence to use this program.
