PrivaZer review

Discussion in 'privacy technology' started by The_PrivaZer_Team, Jun 12, 2013.

  1. Can I recommend looking at the R-Wipe Cleaner and implementing some of their cleaning options. PriVazer is great, but R-WIPE has some cleaning options PriVazer lacks.

    Also could you add a cleaning module for VirtualBox or VMware logs. I use both extensively in my work place, would be good to have the logs wiped.

    "PrivaZer is certainly powerful, thorough, and effective, but the all important question… is it safe? All I can say is; I’ve been using PrivaZer out of the box at default settings for more than 12 months now and never experienced any sort of issue."

    I've had problems with PrivaZer in the past. I did the default clean and then I wasn't able to install the latest set of Windows updates. This did happen a few months ago and I appreciate it is an effective and powerful program but I'd use it with caution in the future.

    thanks nice simple review :)

    I use ccleaner and privaZer and Kcleaner, I would still love if PrivaZer had options to sit in system tray and clean every hour or scan upon start up or shut down.

    The scheduler is nice but sometimes the pc is not on at that time and I forget.

    ccleaner scans upon startup, kcleaner every hour......

    If privaZer had that option of auto clean per hour or specified id buy it in a heart beat *puppy*

    I haven't looked into it, but does Privazer have command line options? If so, it can do cleans/wipes using Task Scheduler and a variety of triggers. That's how I automate CCleaner and BleachBit - All through Task Scheduler on 6 hour rotations. You can set it for User Log On, for example.


    For Example:

    CCleaner.exe /AUTO CCleaner runs silently and automatically, using the current set of saved options to clean the PC. CCleaner then exits.

    PD

    Still waiting for PrivaZer programmers to make the option "close when completed" stay checked from one use to another. Been asking for months.

    I am sending you a short video.
    No it doesnt work.
    It still makes me check the box every time I start the program.

    Agree with review and conclusion

    "Privazer can remove the traces of private data it finds deep in the system"

    This is what so far in my eyes sets Privazer above ccleaner and the rest :)

    I have used PrivaZer since it was first reviewed in the press and have followed its development.

    I have a rather ancient HP Pavilion laptop that developed the habit of showing CPU usage at 100% which made me think of replacing it. I ran a number of cleaning and spyware programs which gave no improvement. Then after running PrivaZer it now runs as well as when new.

    Very impressive program and organisation

    Over the past fifteen years I have used quite a few programs for cleaning this and that and for the most part they have been fairly useful. Recently I downloaded PrivaZer and expected it to be about as useful as all the others had been. At first I found it a little annoying that it took so long while most programs of this nature are usually done in less than a minute. Then I learned why ... Privazer does a deep scan and cleans thoroughly. I learned this by utilizing the program following some time watching the Olympics on line. The time spent on this caused, for some reason or another, everything to slow down and for a time I was prevented from logging in to some sites. I tried the PrivaZer program and it cleaned everything up more efficiently than I'd ever seen it. I shall certainly promote it whenever I have the opportunity. Many thanks to the PrivaZer team and their excellent work.

    Yes they certainly do :thumb:

    Time will tell if Privazer will also implement many of those same options. I also use R-Wipe Clean to scoop up what Privazer passes by.
