HistoryKill Reviewer's Comments

Ease of Use:  

HistoryKill wasn't as easy to use as some of the others but it is able to be understood by a novice user.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

HistoyKill was fairly easy to install.

Privacy Effectiveness:  

HistoryKill only supported one additional plugin, far lower than most of the products reviewed. 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:  

HistoryKill's Internet browser cleaning features included address bar, auto-complete, cache (Temporary Internet Files), cookies, history of visited URLs, and plugins. The Windows cleaning features included index.dat files, media player history, MS Office history, recently opened documents, recycle bin, registry fragement files, Run History, temporary files/directories, and user selected files/directories. It also had cleaning options available at startup and with the ability to schedule. HistoryKill allowed you to overwrite files from 1-21 times and had special options that allowed you to save valuable cookies and provided a stealth mode. The product supports Internet Explorer/MSN, Netscape Navigator, and AOL/Compuserve.

Help/Documentation:  

Its help and documentation wasn't as good as many of the other products. The Technical support availability includes a live chat forum, one of the few products to provide this function. Supported environments for HistoryKill include XP, NT4, 2000, ME, 98, and 95.

Summary:  

Overall, HistoryKill is a very good product.
