Functions
The program offers the option of deleting all files stored on the PC by browsers while surfing the Internet. This includes, for example, the cache , history, forms and passwords or temporary Internet files. The browsers Internet Explorer , Mozilla Firefox , Google Chrome , Safari , Opera and the Telekom browser are supported in the current version 6.0.0.0 .
In addition, traces of around 200 other programs can be deleted, primarily the lists of the files last opened. The traces of the Microsoft Windows operating system can also be deleted, such as prefetch files, the contents of the recycle bin or the clipboard .
Optionally, the data can be "shredded" before deletion, i. In other words, they are overwritten with zeros or according to various algorithms (including the Gutmann method ) before they are deleted , so that they are ultimately irreversible. The following shredder algorithms are available:
- Overwrite with zeros
- Overwrite with random data (1 ×)
- Overwrite with random data (3 ×)
- US DoS 5220.22-M 8-306./E (7 ×)
- US DoS 5220.22-M 8-306./E, C and E (21 ×)
- Gutmann (27 ×)
The files can be deleted manually or automatically when the computer is shut down or booted up, when the browser is closed or at definable time intervals. In addition, the so-called "stealth mode" can be activated, which hides the execution of TraXEx on the computer.
