IEClean
FTP download sites utilizing your email address as a password. Java and script exploits. Newsgroup email harvesters. Rogue ActiveX controls. Hit logging. GUID. ICQ chat vulnerablities. Networked persistent cookies. Visual Basic Scripts. XML Persistence. Maintaining your privacy and preventing tracking of your movements on the Internet requires a lot more than just a cookie manager. Your email address is now a valuable asset - to way too many spammers, marketing researchers and advertisers. Using an IEClean alias will ensure your real email address won't be the one that's harvested. Internet Explorer users also can be given up by their GUID, a unique (to you) number that identifies both your system's hardware and software. Change your GUID with IEClean and you're suddenly someone else! Your cache and history files, which contain the traces of your movements, are probably the most vulnerable files, as they're likely to be the first to be found by someone accessing your system through ICQ chat, a rogue Active X or Activescript control, a trojan horse or other exploit. IEClean now offers a quick, easy means to disable system recognition of all known Visual Basic script extensions, including HTA- HyperText Assistant, which has no security protection at all. IEClean recovers your valuable disk space used by the myriad of databases Internet Explorer utilizes. Our Review: This appears to be a rather powerful and robust cleaning program for Internet Explorer. It lets you select exactly which information Internet Explorer holds about you on your machine; you can simply select from a checkbox list whether your street address, cookie files or a multitude of other information is kept about you or not. I couldn't possibly cover all of its features here, so I recommend checking out their website for more info - just click on 'free download'.
