Product Description:
Clear Cache, erase History permanently with NetShred X, the easy-to-use internet track eraser for Mac OS X that securely erases cached files your browser and email programs leave behind. NetShred X is the internet privacy software that is easy, fast and cleaner. Easy because it runs automatically - you don't have to remember to use it. Fast because it runs in the background - you don't have to wait for it. Cleaner because it will erase, not just delete all internet tracks for almost every browser and email program on Mac OS X. Your web browser stores copies of the images and text that you see in on your hard drive. Anyone with access to your computer can look through these files and see what information you have accessed on the web. These internet tracks - browser cache, history, download cache, quicktime cache, favicons and email cache, trash, spam and junk mail - not only potentially compromise your privacy, they also take up a lot of disk space. Clearing your cache, throwing these files in the trash, or deleting them will not remove the file contents from the hard drive - it just removes the file name from the directory, leaving the data intact and recoverable. To dispose of these internet tracks, use an internet track eraser to erase them so they CAN'T be recovered.

Flock Support?

I rather like this app as it has neat features like patiently waiting in the background to automatically do it work after you finish using the app it is set to monitor. I do wish that it had Flock support. Still, a most useful app by all accords. Support is excellent. I wrote Mireth, and they responded that a Leopard version will be accommodated in NetShred X v.4 making this a cost effective acquisition or upgrade.

Why don't people just use Firfox? You can "delete all information stored while browsing" at the touch of a button. Why would a browser not have that option?

- I don't get it
Internet Clean Up works well for me. It has an option to tell you every time your computer contacts someone and asks permission from you. It has the best app shredder I have used. When I use NetShredX it tells me it did a good job cleaning - so they check each others work. InterNet CleanUp also checked for spyware - but, as usual with a Mac, found nothing! Aftersurf is also good.
My trash was blocked and would not empty because of "locked" apps in it, half shredded. Tiger Cache Cleaner has a "force empty" for the trash. It was worth buying just for that. It is very simple to use. It optimizes broadband at a button touch.
CleanApp is great, but so powerful and specific you need care. It is very easy to use and shows you items by name, you thought had been shredded but were not completely. BUT it makes it look as if somethings are unused (under "cobweb" facility) so be careful, and do not erase either a file you don't know before checking, as it might underpin an application. AppZapper and AppDelete are also good, but not as comprehensive.
FontNuke claims it finds the history of several days surfing and how many MB were used, even AFTER the other apps have cleaned. It then asks if you want to delete. It closes you down and then the same history is there. Strange.
I find MacJanitor easy to use and good for other organising, but, in the end, I don't really know how good the apps work - but I do know that when testing each other out they seem to confirm the job is done. It would be ironic if the best of all was the iMac's own built in cleaners - but there are a lot of other issues, as I have mentioned. Hope this was a help.
