ParetoLogic Privacy Controls is easy to use privacy software that's powerful enough to give its competitors a run for their money.  It has a powerful scanning engine that would be easier to use if the options and start scan button were all in the same tab.  This program's scanning engine looks for 330 different file types and doesn't take long to finish, even when all of the file types are selected.  You can also schedule scans and shred files with this program.

Ease of Use:   Excellent

Wading through everything you want ParetoLogic Privacy Controls to scan can be a long process because of how much you can potentially choose.  The tabs in the Options menu could be made a little easier to navigate and the name of this tab should be changed.  When a user thinks Options, they think about general settings in the program, not items they want a privacy protection program to scan.  Otherwise everything else is self-explanatory and easy to use.

Privacy Effectiveness:   Excellent

ParetoLogic Privacy Controls looks for 330 different items in its scan.  Everything found in these categories can be overwritten up to seven times.  The amount of results you can get from that many items is extraordinary and the fact you can make them unrecoverable proves this program's effectiveness in protecting your privacy all by itself.

Feature Set:   Excellent

Despite the fact that ParetoLogic Privacy Controls may not work with the newest versions of some programs, it does offer great options for what it does do. For example, in Explorer you can remove temp files, history, favorites, cookies, index.dat files, starter pages, auto-complete form data, downloaded directory memories, set up log files, saved passwords, downloaded program files and address bar histories. Other options include similarly comprehensive scans.

Help/Documentation:   Excellent

ParetoLogic Privacy Controls comes with excellent embedded help pages and online you can read FAQs or you can send an email for technical support. We would have liked to have seen chat or telephone support, but to be fair, few privacy software providers offer this level of support.

Summary:  

ParetoLogic Privacy Controls seems to do an adequate job at scanning and removing traces from most internet, email, chat and other activities. It works with a variety of browsers and can perform 7-time overwrites to help eliminate data.  It's solid privacy software.
