    Can't install anyway with a dialogue appears "PrivaZer will soon be available in your language. To be notified when it launched, please enter your email on the opened web page" and then close installer with redirect to http://privazer.com/language_alert.php

    Why this software have to install in system language? Why not let user choose on their own? Because all software on my computer are English with default but why this software not let me install in English?

    Please fix this problem, because I really need to use this software. This is such a great privacy application I always look forwards to!!!

    Hi new to the program, impressed so I donated. :)
    Also just found this thread so I will add my comments here now, although made a couple of point though the Website.

    Is there a way of setting up on USER account that PrivaZer will auto clean 3 drives and NOT clean the free space as on a user account it won't do the "Smart Clean up" and takes forever ! it seems to forget that I set it to not clean the free space on next use.
    I run it on admin account to clean the free space because it can use the "Smart Clean up" . But I don't think this cleans my user account files ?

    Also will Thunderbird be added ?

    I just had a bug and I am not sure if this is caused by Privazer or if this is a Google Chrome bug. When I open Google Chrome and look at browsing history it shows no data but if I open %LocalAppdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History with Notepad++ I can still find some urls that I have visited which is a privacy issue. I am not sure yet how to reproduce this. Can a few Privazer users check this file on their system and tell if they too have a corrupted history file ? Thanks.

    Yes I also have this problem I do believe it is Google Chrome it self I have found nothing that would point to PrivaZer as the culprit been using PrivaZer since it began and have never had any problems.

    I have just installed PrivaZer. I have run the program several times immediatly following each other yet each time it shows it is finding large numbers of items needing attention. Is this normal or am I getting false positives? Should running the program multiple times eventually result in it not finding anything? Thanks.

    Can anybody help me when i do an internet activities scan with privaZer it finds all traces of websites visited etc then i clean, on another scan it appears PrivaZer has cleaned all traces of visited websites etc.

    But after browsing the internet again and then performing a scan all the old visited websites appear again it doesn't work or have i done something wrong?.

    I have Privazer installed on my computer not portable and my browser is chrome.

    Hello, It would be awesome if Privazer could be tested by someone with Encase. Maybe we can try to raise some kind of fund to get someone to do it ? It would make some awesome PR "Encase defeated by Privazer" and draw more users to Privazer.

    I have noticed that Teracopy is not being completely cleaned up by PrivaZer. Residual file locations are found by CCleaner using winapp2.ini. I will PM relevant entry.

    Also, it would be really nice to have a separate desktop button to quickly "Clean Internet Traces". I use this often during my workday and having it right there would be nice. A "Close when done" checkbox on this function would be very nice too. We're saving mouse clicks here :)

    Hello guys,

    1. Teracopy cleanup will be improved
    2. We will improve PrivaZer usability when deleting internet traces, maybe a shortcut on desktop would be great as you suggested.
    3. To test PrivaZer against Encase, do not forget to delete also system snapshots and restore points

    Thanks to share your suggestions... That helps us to improve

    Hi is Privazer ok to use ok Win7 which has Bitlocker encryption ? Only after the 1st run it still wants to clean 100% of the free space even though it's set to use the "Smart" option

    Hello Pete,

    detection of traces in free space of encrypted drives will be supported soon.

    Could you send us a screenshot of the traces found by PrivaZer ? That can help us.
    (you can click on "Examples of sectors to reset to zero", then select clusters in the list and send us some screenshots).

    Hi PrivaZer
    I use Sandboxie ( http://www.sandboxie.com/ ) There is an option to add a delete command to automatically clear a sandbox on exit can Privazer be used for this ?
