Erase Your Internet Tracks
READ
THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding the websites you visit, your chat
conversations, and all of your Internet and other PC files.
Are you aware that your computer is also a recording device? Almost
every action you make is recorded and can be easily retrieved by anyone,
not just by a computer geek but by an average computer user such as
your spouse, boss, friend, or anyone who has access to the PC you use.
For example, web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox can
save every image and every website you open. Windows might save every
login name and password you type. Media players often keep records of
every movie and video clip you watch.
Without Evidence Nuker your computer is as private as a diary left on
a restaurant table for anyone to read, and thousands of people have
been fired, divorced and even sent to prison over what was found on
their PC! Do you want your loved ones, employers, or law enforcement
agencies to know everything you do Online?
For no cost at all you can download Evidence Nuker today and run a FREE
scan that will show you a listing of deleted files, emails, chat transcripts,
audio and video files, temporary internet files, image files (all formats),
search histories, clipboard data, passwords, internet history, stored
cookies and so much more! After you see everything that has been easily
recovered you can use Evidence Nuker to permanently delete everything
you want erased!
Don't lose your job, get divorced, become embarrassed,
or be sent to prison because of what you do on your home or office computer!
Protect your Identity
There are tools that can retrieve deleted files
even if a new file has been written where the old one used to be.
Not even formatting your hard drive is a guarantee of privacy! You should
never give away an old computer before permanently deleting all of the
personal information you have left on it.
Evidence Nuker gives you a choice of several deletion methods including
the one approved by the Department of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M standard)
and the one scientifically proven to be sufficient (Guttman).
Protect your Investment
Evidence
Nuker can even speed up your PC!
Your computer is a valuable investment. Even if you have only used it
for a few days chances are it already has hundreds of unnecessary files
and registry items saved in various locations. Those files take up valuable
space on your hard drive. Even worse - most of the files are loaded
in your computer's memory as soon as you start the computer, this can
slow down your computer and even render some of its functions unusable.
We offer you a challenge - if you run Evidence Nuker's FREE scan and
it detects less than 100 files or less than 10,000 Kilobytes we will
give you our state of the line popup blocking software free of charge!

WordPad, and Media Player.

Results
Overview
The Results tab is you will find the details of the items detected during
the scan of your system including the type and description. The ability to
remove or exclude these items is also provided here.
To
Exclude an Item
- Excluding an item causes EvidenceNuker to ignore the item and not display
it in future scans. This prevents it from being removed from your system.
- To exclude an item you must right-click in the specific item in the bottom
pane of the display that you wish to exclude.
Note: Only the following sections include the ability to
exclude items:
- Address Bar History
- IE Cookies

To Delete Traces
To delete all traces found during the scan simply click the Delete All button.
To delete only some of the traces found during the scan you must select the
item(s) in the bottom pane using CTRL+Click or SHIFT+Click and then right-click
the item(s) and choose Delete. This will delete only the items you selected.
Once the deletion has begun it may take several minutes to complete depending
on the speed of your computer, the number of traces found, and the shredder
level you have selected.
Once the deletion has completed a summary of the deletion results will be
displayed.

Understanding the Deletion Summary
The deletion summary may include the following text.
"Due to the operating system limitations some items will be completely
deleted on the next reboot." This refers to traces that your Operating
System caches in memory and cannot be fully deleted until the Operating System
is restarted. This includes Run History and other items.
"Some items could not be removed. Please start your computer in Safe Mode
and try again." This refers to items that are currently in use or
otherwise locked and not physically able to be deleted. The most common reason
for this message is temporary files that the Operating System or other software
creates and maintains. You can see the files that were not removable by performing
another scan. You can restart your computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 or
CTRL just before any Windows screens are displayed during a reboot.
Exclude
Overview
The Exclude List provides you with the ability to control which items will
not be removed from your computer. Items you may want to exclude are cookies
for websites you visit regularly such as online forums that rely on cookies
to retain your forum preferences.
