In-depth privacy cleaner PrivaZer is a privacy cleaner that scans your computer and provides you with a complete report of all computer and Internet traces that can be found on your PC. You can review the results in the detail and choose to securely erase them from your disk. The program performs a very thorough scan that not only includes the common traces like registry, Internet history, cookies etc., but also looks for potential traces in your free disk space sectors. PrivaZer can permanently wipe all traces using secure deletion methods and also reset you free disk sectors to zero to eliminate all traces from previous delete operations. The initial scan and cleaning process can be a little time consuming (20-30 mins), depending on the size of your disks and number of traces found. Other features include scheduled cleanings, support for removable drives and USB keys, automatic registry backups, deletion of USB history, and more. Copyright Snapfiles.com

Definitely recommended for its overall excellby SnapAssessor May 16, 2023

I've been using PrivaZer since 2017. It's user interface looks clear. Its menus and settings navigate with ease and smoothly. It cleans thoroughly which also contributes to protect certain privacy interests. Their updates provide regular improvements and new features. And their support is outstanding, meaning they always respond and also within in just a couple of days but also same day. I've made some donations that are totally worth it. But while this is all fine, I do have a serious minus which they are working on ever since at least january 2022. That serious minus is PrivaZer's "USB history" feature not being able to enable as default, and still showing the message: "Cleanup will be soon available in a next release". Review details

Runs great in 2019by JURYCOM Feb 05, 2019 (Read all my 43 reviews)

Faults: Should have backup registry option on separate GUI. Pros: Ran great on 2 TB modern HD (not like in 2012). Very fast & took about 40 minutes first time. I was astounded how many files it deleted. It freed about 30 GBs of space, too, although I have 1.4 TB and don't need more... The initial re-start saw a few minor issues but was fast and without error. I give this program an A+ and will get the Donor Version. Review details

Eats disk spaceby dan-fan-cc417 Oct 28, 2017 (Read all my 4 reviews)

Every time Privazer is run on a drive, some free space disappears and is unrecoverable. I have a virtual drive, which when mounted is 768 megabytes. This drive contains only a few data files. Large amounts of data are temporarily added and then removed. The info in the files changes, but the overall size of them varies very little. Yet, as I use Privazer on this drive, I observe that over time the free space keeps dropping. Eventually it reaches the point where Privazer says there is insufficient space to clean the MFT table. Yet the total size of all files and folders on the drives is still as before - well under 100 megabytes, as shown by Windows Explorer. To fix the problem I copy all files elsewhere, reformat the virtual drive, then copy all files back. Voila, about 700 megabytes free again. I have reported this to Privazer several times over the years, have never received a reply, and find that the problem still exists in the latest (3.0) version. Review details
