Webroot Window Washer

If you own a PC and spend any time whatsoever on the Internet or use your PC for practically anything beyond playing solitaire you will find traces of everything you have ever done and every web site that you have ever visited on your hard drive. While you may think that this is not really a problem, it can be as these trace can slow your computer down to a crawl over a period of time. Webroot Window Washer was designed to remove all these traces and old files from your hard drive permanently.

When you delete a file you assume that all traces of it have been removed from your hard drive and that the space that the file took up has been freed up. Sadly this is not strictly true as Windows retains these files albeit in a fragmented form until you reformat, the only true way to completely remove them from your computer other than reformatting is to use a program like Webroot Window Washer. With this software you can overwrite deleted files and clear your Internet history with a single click of your mouse.

When you surf the web each site you visit leaves plenty of traces on your hard drive such as a cache of the pages you have visited, cookies so that the website will recognize you if you should return, and a history of all of the sites you have visited. This information in general is harmless, but over time can slowly fill up the space on your hard drive causing your computer to bog down to the point where it will be barely operational. To prevent this from happening you need to run a regular scan of your hard drive with Window Washer so that all of this information is cleaned up and removed.

Often the cookies left behind can allow those less than savory characters access to your computer and then give them access to your personal information such as passwords and account numbers. This can lead to problems like identity theft. You can use Windows itself to remove these cookies, but it is only capable of removing them all including the ones you want to keep. Webroot Window Washer lets you select the ones you want to keep allowing you to keep you computer as clean and smoothly operating as possible while keeping the bad guys out. Even the most basic PC can run and benefit from this software.
