east-tec Eraser Editor's Review

Keep your private information private with this important Windows utility.

Online privacy is becoming a huge issue. With legislators so willing to give it away or to sell it to the highest paying lobbyist, and with so much malware around trying to steal it, its surprising that consumer computing is as popular as it is. If you want to be online, then you need to do something to protect yourself – over and above using a malware scanner. This is why I really like security applications like East-Tech Eraser 2014. This Windows-based security application could just save your bacon, and your private data.

East-Tec Eraser 2014 is a privacy protection app for Windows that helps secure your personal data, and your offline or online privacy by erasing all files that store evidence of your Internet activities. Over and above that, it helps keep your PC clean by deleting unnecessary data stored on your computer with or without your knowledge.

East-Tec Eraser 2014 can remove your online tracks or internet history. You can delete evidence of the web pages you visited, and pictures you've viewed on the Internet. You can remove unwanted cookies, chat room conversations, you can deleted e-mail messages and files, and temporary files. You can even delete the Windows swap file, and clean out the Recycle Bin. The app is a complete file security tool. The best thing about East-Tec Eraser 2014 is that it works with all modern, popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

East-Tec Eraser 2014 works with over 250 other online apps like AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, iTunes, WinAmp, Real Player, VLC Player, Skype, Dropbox, and Roxio. It works with Peer2Peer apps like BearShare, LimeWire, BitComet, and uTorrent. It also works with news readers and email apps like Windows Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Eudora.

App Pro’s: Easy to use, permanently deletes all unwanted data and information, Windows 8 compatible

App Con’s: Trial mode shows itself as a problem, trying to get you to buy the app

Conclusion: East-Tec Eraser 2014 not only works with online enabled apps, but it works with your Windows operating system by wiping temporary and garbage files that get created by it and your other apps. Not only does this app protect your privacy, but it can speed up your PC as well.

The app is easy to use. The interface has GREATLY improved over the last version, and the price, while higher than I personally would like, is very reasonable, especially for what you're getting. If you're looking for a drive/OS utility as well as an online privacy protection app, East-Tec Eraser 2014 is a great choice.
