Publisher's description of Internet Sweeper

From Emery Info-Engineering:

Erase information stored in Windows about Internet sites visited. This program is free (although donations are appreciated) and fully functional. It automatically runs when the computer boots, the user logs in, or browsers are closed. It works with all 32-bit Windows programs and with all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Navigator, Opera, and now AOL). It erases the cache, history, cookies, addresses, passwords, and temporary files, and closes pop-up windows in browsers, including AOL.

Editor's review of Internet Sweeper

  • 3.0 stars

This application handles some basic privacy chores just fine, but we did experience a couple of performance and stability problems. Internet Sweeper's boring interface might make you yawn, but at least it's self-explanatory. You simply check boxes to clean up your surfing history in Internet Explorer and AOL (the free version disables the cleaning of Opera and Netscape). You'll also find tools for tidying up a few areas of the Windows system, such as the Recycle Bin and the Recent Documents list, but you can't clean up after third-party apps or securely shred files. Internet Sweeper offers an option for overwriting files after deletion, but checking this box caused the program to consistently freeze. The built-in pop-up blocker worked quite well, although its prowess against Flash ads is decidedly poor. Inexperienced IE users looking for a fast privacy solution might like this application, but power users are bound to crave a more versatile solution.

    "A great privacy cleaner."

    by Zane77 on September 27, 2008

    Pros: Internet Sweeper will clean what you want it to clean by checking the boxes you want to clean.

    Temporary internet files, cookies, typed URL addresses, auto complete forms, and passwords.

    And cleans recent documents, recycle bin, temp directory, find documents, find computer history and open run history.

    On options you can choose if you want internet Sweeper in the task bar or not if you want it in the task bar check system tray icon.

    "free and simple management of internet debris & cookies"

    by hbc41 on July 2, 2006

    Pros: easy to use, simple free program that will clean internet debris with one click including history, temp internet files, cookies, etc at user's option and easy to manage cookie option to protect certain cookies from deletion that may be needed; also has options for passwords and internet explorer's autocomplete function which i leave unchecked; contrary to cnet review i have not had a stability issue when using the overwrite deletion option after several years of use on several computers and i have also found that some expensive programs are harder to manage than this free one.

    Cons: you must pay a few bucks to avoid a message about making a contribution but this is a minor annoyance and some may prefer using an expensive program like the one from webroot that does much the same but adds a couple of features like cleaning free space which i find to not be worth the price.

    "Does what it says it does. Fine product."

    by skb10 on November 28, 2006

    Pros: Simple to use, never crashed my computer.

    I like the automatic cleanup function after you close your browser. No need to do it yourself all the time. I bought the registered version 2 years ago and needed another copy of it (could not find the one sent to me at that time). Sent him an e-mail and he sent me a new copy right away (in a matter of hours). So I don't understand why some reviews report problems in communication (?). Try again, he has been great to deal with all the time.

    Cons: If I have to suggest an improvement it could be adding a function that explains, in more details, all possible settings. I am NO pro so I might not be benefiting from all features since I shy away from experimenting too much. Maybe a link to a library on the web-site, examples or what would happen and FAQ. Just a thought.
