- All those internet tracks on your computer also take up disk space.
Running NetShred to erase them frees up disk space.
How much? In the test lab, we surfed the web for 1 week without clearing cache or deleting internet tracks. We checked our disk space used. Then we ran NetShred. Then we checked our disk space used. Our test machine had accumulated 65.2 mb of internet tracks in just one week.Considering how long it's been since you cleared your cache or emptied your email trash, imagine how much disk space you could save!
- NetShred is cleaner because it erases, not just deletes internet tracks.
- Your web browser stores copies of the images and text that you see in the “cache” folder on your hard disk, as well as a list of the sites that you have visited in a history file. Your deleted email Trash and Junk mail may be just sitting in a folder on your hard disk.
- Anyone can look through these files and see what information you have accessed on the web (e.g. personal financial information, web site passwords, other private information).
- You can clean your cache, throw these files in the trash, or delete your internet history, but it will not remove the file contents from the hard disk; it just removes the file name from the directory, leaving the data intact and vulnerable. What you throw away can be recovered.
- To erase internet tracks, you need an internet track eraser, like NetShred X to erase cache, email trash and more so it can't be recovered.
- NetShred is cleaner because it erases more than just cache.
A short history lesson first. With the original browsers, the only internet tracks that existed were cache files. Thus, this type of internet privacy software was called a "cache cleaner", or "cache clearer". But, over time, browsers and email programs have evolved to include many more internet tracks that need to be erased, including browser history, download cache, favicons, email cache, email trash, email junk, and quicktime movie cache.
As the internet has evolved, so has NetShred. NetShred erases all types of internet tracks.
- NetShred X is cleaner because it works with your browser and email program. NetShred X works with all major browsers and email programs. If it doesn't work with yours, contact us and we'll add it.
