Ease of Use:  

This product was easy to use and understand.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

Ghost Surf was very easy to install and setup. This product is Vista compatible.

Privacy Effectiveness:  

Ghost Surf provides extensive support for a wide variety of plugins, plus a feature that allows you to create your own plugin. A plugin is a small piece of interface software that allows your computer to erase the history of the last used files within certain desktop applications like image viewers, graphical editors, chat, email, readers, etc.

Feature Set:  

Ghost Surf's Internet browser cleaning features included address bar, cache (Temporary Internet Files), cookies, and history of visited URLs. The Windows cleaning features included application logs, MS Office history, recently opened documents, recycle bin, and user selected files/directories. It also had cleaning options available at startup and with the ability to schedule. Ghost Surf allowed you to overwrite files from 1-5 times and had a special option that allows you to log your activities. The product supports Internet Explorer/MSN, Netscape Navigator, and AOL/Compuserve.

Help/Documentation:  

The help document is good, and the technical support availability includes email/online forms. Supported environments for Ghost Surf include XP, NT4, 2000, ME, 98, and 95. No online updates were available.

Overall, Ghost Surf is a good, user-friendly product with some very nice features, but not powerful enough to be considered one of the best products.
