Press Release Body = PC Mesh Internet and Disk Cleanup 5.0 released- keep your online privacy
PC Mesh Internet and Disk Cleanup is the fastest and easiest way to permanently erase temporary files, no matter where they are stored. It also quickly and permanently removes all of the sensitive data that Windows collects. In addition, it erases your \"footprints\" that lead people to the files you\'ve been creating and reading as well as the Internet sites you\'ve been visiting. Finally, it shreds thoroughly all of your deleted files. PC Mesh Internet and Disk Cleanup includes an index.dat viewer to let you read the complete contents of index.dat files. This also gives the possibility to find out what your child, spouse or employee is doing online while you are out!
While you are busy working on your PC, your PC is busily working behind the scenes setting you up for a major disk crash as well as a serious privacy breach. It\'s not that your PC hates you; it\'s just that the Windows operating system does some pretty strange things when it comes to how it manages your hard drive.
Here\'s a quick look at some of the ways your PC is setting you and your hard drive up for disaster:
* It stores all of the images that you see when you visit any web site. Not only does this waste disk space, but it enables anyone who sits down at your computer to be able to see exactly what you were seeing while you were online. * It stores all of the web addresses that you type into your browser. Anyone with access to your browser can bring up your history list and visit every site you visit. * It keeps track of the search terms that you use when you visit Yahoo, Google or any other search engine. Anyone can see what you\'ve been searching for. * It keeps track of user names and passwords that you use to log into your bank, brokerage account, or any other membership site you use. * It also keeps track of other sensitive information like your credit card numbers, Social Security Number, and anything else that you enter into web forms. * It keeps track of the files that you opened recently, including word processing and spreadsheet files, and makes that list available to anyone who sits at your PC.
And that\'s not the worst of it. You\'re probably not aware of this but when you delete a file, it\'s not really deleted. Windows simply moves it to a special area on your hard drive- index.dat, where anyone with a "file undelete" software can restore those files and see what you\'ve been up to.
Because Windows stores all of this information and all of the temporary files in different spots on your hard drive, and because some of this information is very difficult to erase manually, it\'s important that you have a utility that will take care of these tasks for you.
PC Mesh Internet and Disk Cleanup supports MS Internet Explorer and all Mozilla-based browsers; and runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
