Here's How to Sanitize Your PC With PrivaZer - Comments Page 2

I've used PrivaZer with confidence for years and always found it to work well. So good to read your expert views and reassurance.

Joe.

I've been a happy camper using PriaZer for several years. Running two desktops and one laptop all have Windows 10
I'm wondering if the negative comments, might be the fact those people tried to run the software with every box ticked. I started out very slow until I had some extra time to figure out all the in's & out.
Just my thoughts.

Downloaded the donner version and ran it yesterday.At 72 years old I don't know much about Computers (My first was a Tandy 1000) but I do trust Bob so.... works and auto password still worked after I ran it so all is good.

I have used Privazer for several years. It has not failed me yet. Does nice job of cleaning up drives, even WD backup drives.

What is the difference between the free and donor
version? If there is no difference, how much do you think I should still donate?

Thanks, I have read your posts for many years and love them.

I even remember when you got married! :)

Been using the Donors version for 3 yrs on Win 7 and now 10 without issue and great results. Must set your parameters how you want them before you dig in the first time! Save your logon passwords.

My only concern is doing it too often given I run a SSD C Boot. I wonder how often IS safe? Anyone know? Monthly, quarterly, weekly, or what for a full boot drive clean with single pass??

Best wishes.

Hello Bob. I wondered when you would get around to this one & yes it is a bit mind-blowing disbelief to realize this is FREE.
I have been using it for about 11 years now, & each year I donate $10 AUD for the donor version. (Cheap you might say, but I also donate to others as well, like Wikipedia)
It is an amazing program, way superior to others like CCleaner & PCMatic as well as Wise Care 365, Glary, Advanced System Care, et al, & just love it.
A pity that there is not a tool to check out the browsers with recommendations on what to keep as add-ons.
I highly recommend it.
Thanks again for a superb analysis of yet another program.
31 sleeps till Christmas day :)

Hello to all here, hello to Bob,
here is the PrivaZer Team, thanks for your nice comments. PrivaZer gets always improved thanks to user feedbacks, if you have questions, Bob or yourself, feel free to contact us to support@privazer.com

Been using PrivaZer ever since you recomended it back in 2013-2014 never ever had a problem with it. I started using the donners version after about a year, there is no difference between donners version and free, because I wanted to support this company and I hope it NEVER goes away. Thank you Bob for steering PrivaZer in my direction.

I may be missing something, but I don't see that Privazer is deleting any Internet "traces." Here is the sequence of what I'm doing (v. 4.0.8):

In opening screen, select "Scan specific traces" > "Internet activities."

Press "Scan" button to scan the five items listed (Internet browsing, Cookies, etc.).

Look through the scanned traces on the right side of the screen, noting hundreds of websites listed, under such categories as "Visited" and "Frequently used."

Press "Clean" button to clean the traces (right?).

Shut down Privazer, immediately re-open it (no intervening web viewing), and repeat the process through "Scan".

Review the traces listed on the right side of the screen.

**THE SAME hundreds of websites are listed!** No traces have been removed.

Again, am I missing something?

yes a do use PRIVAZER for years the best on the market with only a little donation

Just ran PrivatiZer and its FANTASTIC. I have heard about iy for years, but never got around to it. Then a few days ago I was alarmed to see thumbnails of seemingly random webpages buried deep in mozilla folder inside documents and settings. Ran PrivatiZer and all is cleared. Purged over 1600 entries from Registry. 40,000 unused MFT entries and 220,000 log file entries. Even on an old computer it was much faster than the suggested time. The publishers are Wizards. -Greg

The latest free version of 32-bit Privazer screwed up my laptop. After I rebooted when P had finished, the Dell Latitude laptop just kep shutting Dow randomly. I tried reseating the battery, memory and hard drive, but nothing I did fixed it. Luckily I had made a complete backup a few days before, but the laptop failed to recognise the external USB hard drive. Eventually I removed the hard drive and piggy backed it to a desktop PC. Then I was able to do a successful system restore. Since the, it has worked fine.

Before I use any of these devices I need to be sure that I will be able to keep it from removing or deleting cookies or browsing history because I make use of both of these.

I have used PrivaZer since you first recommended it back in 2013. It does everything you said it does. I run it nearly every day and it keeps 3 systems running smoothly. Thanks Bob!

I have been using PrivaZer for over 10 years. I especially like the cleaning function every time you close a browser. It's worth the small donation to keep this program up to date.

I've used PrivaZer for quite a few years, and I run the full program at least once a week. The "Clean up Internet Traces" is also very handy. I don't remember where I first heard of this program, but it's very good for speeding up a sluggish computer. AND I've never had a single problem with it.
