Everything you do on your computer and on the Internet is logged, which can be a serious risk to your privacy. Cleaning up these traces manually would take too long, which is why you can find specialized utilities for this task. Privacy Dr's purpose is to erase any information that could harm you if it ends up in the wrong hands. It works quite fast and its controls are very easy to master.

The software is free to try, but with some functionality restrictions. It works on all popular Windows versions and it can be installed in under a minute. Furthermore, its hardware requirements are modest and you don't have to install any prerequisite tools.

Privacy Dr's controls are organized in several categories, which are accessible through navigation tabs. When launched, the program will display a status page, where you will find a few overall statistics about your system's state. You can choose to clean up user and password information, browser leftover data, instant messenger conversations, as well as local trace files. Once you have made your choice, you only need to click one button to start scanning.

The scan results are displayed together on a single page. The found items can be viewed individually and you can choose which ones to keep or remove. You can expect Privacy Dr to remove browser history data and cookies from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, chat logs from Yahoo Messenger, ooVoo, ICQ, Skype and Trillian, as well as a wide variety of temporary data and junk files. Furthermore, stored passwords, browser history data and IM conversations can be cleaned up separately, in other sections of the user interface.

Privacy Dr places everything you need at your disposal, to protect your privacy and keep your computer healthy at the same time.

Pros

You can remove a large amount of data which can pose a threat to your privacy. The software is quite fast and its controls are easy to master.

Cons

The trial version is limited to scanning for issues. It doesn't clean anything.
