Privacy Guardian Reviewer's Comments

Privacy Guardian by PC Tools is a good product. It is one of the few products that will clean MS Office history. It also has a number of third party plug–ins. It does not have as many cleaning options or features as Evidence Eliminator, our number one product.

Ease of Use:  

This software is easy to use. Navigation is intuitive.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

Privacy Guardian easily installs and sets up. This software is Vista compatible.

Privacy Effectiveness:  

Privacy Guardian does effectively clean your computer and has a file shredder to permanently delete selected files. However, if you want every feature and cleaning option available such as complete Windows cleaning or stealth mode, you may want to look at Evidence Eliminator.

Feature Set:  

Privacy Guardian supports a number of browser plug–ins like Internet Explorer, Netscape and AOL. You can set an automatic task scheduler or have it clean upon startup or shutdown. This product will clean your Windows Media Player information as well as your MS Office History.

Help/Documentation:  

Help documentation is provided by PC Tools. They also provide a convenient link to their website from the help menu. You can contact them by email or through a toll-free number.

Summary:  

Privacy Guardian cleans and erases unwanted files from your computer. It is also user-friendly though it may not have all of the more sophisticated features available. To see which products carry all available features visit the comparison chart on our homepage.
