History Killer Pro

Any action you perform on your computer, no matter how insignificant, is logged somewhere, by an application or the system itself. Even unskilled users can find some of these logs and see your visited web sites, launched applications and so on. Erasing history files will ensure your privacy and you can do it with any disk cleanup utility. If you want to make sure that your entire activity history is gone, you can use History Killer Pro. It works like a disk cleaner, but it focuses on erasing numerous history files, which may compromise your privacy.

You can download History Killer Pro in a few moments, thanks to the small size of the setup package and use the application for free. The installation process is smooth, so you will be able to start using the application immediately. It does not take up too much disk space and it has modest system requirements.

File types, which you can scan and delete, are listed on the software's interface, in different categories, like Windows System, Windows Accessories, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, MS Office and others. You can target various file types, one by one or select an entire category. You can start scanning by clicking an option, beneath the files list.

The software will not display detailed scan results, on a different page, right away. Instead, it will display the total number of items, for each type of file, next to their entries in the list. If you want to see a detailed list with the files themselves, you only need to click an entry. The scanning process will not take long and when it is complete, you may erase your history files immediately, with a different option.

For better privacy, you can select a deletion method, on the program's main settings panel, to overwrite the erased data multiple times. History Killer Pro includes the well known Gutmann method as well, which makes 35 passes. It is also possible to set the application to scrub Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Chrome automatically, when you close them. If you don't want to erase a particular type of temporary file, you may add it to an exceptions list.
