Cache cleaners erase personal information from a computer using government standards. They can target saved passwords, browsing history, and more. Users can choose to clean their caches regularly or at specific times and configure the software to ignore certain information.
A cache cleaner is software that can be used when a computer user wants to erase information from their personal computer. Good versions of this software eliminate all traces of information using government standards. After a cache has been purged to the standard, the files have been completely deleted and cannot be recovered. This type of software can be useful to someone who keeps detailed financial or otherwise personal records on their computer or shares a single computer with other people.
The type of information that can be targeted by cache cleaners is wide and varied. Typically, saved passwords, Internet browsing histories, and autocomplete entries are the things the average computer user is interested in deleting. A cache cleaner can target anything including but not limited to: cache, cookies, browsing and search history, index.dat files, temporary folders and files, visited and typed URLs, run history, open and save history for documents and recent documents. Quality software can change all of these aspects of a computer and more.
Technically, deleting your personal information and details can be done manually. However, many computer users invest in cache cleaning software so that they don’t have to learn how to clear information and then perform the task. When users choose to use cache cleaner software, they do so with the knowledge that they can erase a significant amount of personal information with the press of a single button.
Users can choose to clear their caches once or at specific times. Some software allows users to choose a regular interval for cleaning, such as weekly. Concerned computer users may choose to clean their caches as often as possible. For these users, the caches can be cleaned every time they start up and shut down their computers to safeguard all their information.
Despite a cache cleaner’s ease of use and seemingly complete deletion of details, users may choose to configure their cache cleaner to modify only certain parts of their systems. For example, if a user does not want to delete the login details of a certain website, the user can request the cleaner to ignore the website from its crawl. The cleaner can then make the appropriate changes based on the user’s preferences and skip information that the user considers important to keep on a system. Advanced cleaning software can also allow users to change computer paths so that detecting remaining files becomes more difficult for an uninvited guest.
