Total Privacy is a safe and easy-to-use Windows privacy protection tool that securely deletes Internet tracks and program history information stored on your computer. The program guarantees your privacy by permanently erasing all traces of your Internet and computer activities.

Information from every website you visit is stored on your computer in hidden Windows locations, including temporary files, cookies, internet cache, the Windows registry, and the index.dat file. Web browsers provide partial privacy protection by allowing some temporary Internet files and cookies to be deleted. By contrast, Total Privacy cleans out all of these hidden files, and makes them unrecoverable.

This suite of free tools comes in the form of an Internet Explorer add-on and includes a mix of powerful security ehancements and features to make browsing a little more convenient.

There are thirteen utilities bundled into Foxie, which range from a spyware scanner to the ability to use tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer. The selection available seems a little strange given that some of the tools seem quite unrelated, but the idea is to cover everything, removing the need for users to install a multitude of software for each aspect of their online experience.

Tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer is a much-needed feature and will finally make browsing a bit easier, although it does reduce the viewing area of the browser. If you have multiple toolbars you may want to consider how much more room you can afford to sacrifice. Foxie also adds in an ASK Jeeves search bar, a drop-down shortcuts menu that lists sites according to those you most frequently visit, and a desktop search option, all very handy functions if you don’t already use something similar.

The spyware scanner is very quick and powerful, as is the disk cleaner, and "The Infinity Button" will appeal to any fans of The Hitchhikers Guide, as it predictably takes you to a random pages in cyberspace that you can then rate, send to friends or bookmark.

Foxie Suite tries to integrate the best features of Firefox into Microsoft Internet Explorer and in my opinion, succeeds to do so. Now you can have tabbed-browsing while still using the worlds most popular browser.

Sandboxie is an interesting alternative to traditional anti-virus/anti-spyware software. According to the developers, when you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the program to the hard disk via write operations. For example, if you run the Freecell program to play a game, it starts by reading the previously recorded statistics, displaying and altering them as you play the game, and finally writing them back to disk for future reference.

Sandboxie changes the rules such that write operations do not make it back to your hard disk. The key is the transient nature of the sandbox which makes it easy to get rid of everything in it. If you were to throw away the sandbox, by deleting everything in it, the sandboxed statistics would be gone for good, as if they had never been there in the first place. You maye in fact prefer to run your Web browser inside the sandbox most of the time. This way any incoming, unsolicited software (spyware, malware and the like) that you download, will be trapped in the sandbox. Changes made to your list of Favorites or Bookmarks, hijacking of your preferred start page, new and unwanted icons on your desktop - all these, and more, are trapped in and bound to the sandbox.

This is a very original solution to the perennial problems caused by adware, spyware and malware. However, it's dubious as to whether it can deal with the continual sophistication of such programs.

AhnLab V3 Internet Security thus includes all the tools and options needed to fight against online dangers.

Phishing has become a real blight on the Internet recently and we're forever hearing scare stories about innocent folk who have lost thousands after being duped by phishing scams.

For those that thought 'phishing' was the pursuit of illiterate angles, I'll remind you that it's actually the name given to an Internet scam whereby a bogus site poses as a real site in order to garner personal information, usually bank details, from unwitting users. For instance, a phisher may set up a site that looks very much like that of a real life bank and prompt users to come and confirm their account details. These sites are often mailed to people in the form of spam.

Thankfully the continued increase in this type of scam has resulted in the continued increase in the range of software designed to help you combat phishing. As you may recall, one of the improvements to Internet Explorer 7 was the inclusion of a phishing filter. Reasonable Anti-phishing aims to ramp up security a stage further and provides a bolt-on solution for IE users to make extra sure they don't get caught.

After a simple installation the program sits snugly in the Internet Explorer toolbar with its own Google-powered search bar. The program allows you to maintain a database of protected URLs that you know to be safe (and includes some of its own) and only when sites from these domains are loaded will the Anti-phising icon turn green. For unknown sites it stays yellow, and for known phishing sites you'll get a big red warning to stop you falling into the phisher's trap.

This app is much more powerful than the IE phishing filter, which only really lets you enable or disable it, whereas Reasonable Anti-phising gives you a whole raft of options and settings. These include the ability to set up up a 'do not warn' list, a log of reported phishing sites, domain name protection and webpage appearance protection.

It's only available for Internet Explorer users at present, but Reasonable Anti-phishing turns out to be much more than just a reasonable program. In fact, it's actually pretty good.

With internet usage becoming ever more ubiquitous and PC use becoming increasingly mobile, privacy is an ever important issue.

This is an essential suite for anyone that uses the same password for multiple logins. The security consequences if anyone gains access your password can be sever but this suite minimises the chances of that ever happening. The same goes for confidential e-mails which can be easily intercepted and read. Steganos Privacy Suite works by protecting your most sensitive data by effectively encrypting your hard drive - including external devices. You can even turn your USB stick and iPod into a Portable Safe which can be opened on almost any computer. The beauty is that the program eliminates the need for passwords enabling you to open your safe with an iPod, USB stick ­or by clicking on a sequence of pictures. In addition, if your laptop gets lost or stolen, Steganos AntiTheft mechanism ensures that the thieves won't be able to do much with it. There's a Shredder that destroys sensitive data completely and an e-mail encryption tool so you can exchange business correspondence in peace of mind. In addition to all this, you can even hide encrypted data James Bond style in sounds or even pictures.

In summary, this a very powerful and comprehensive security suite ideal for those that do business or other private dealings on their PC.

Privacy is such a key issue these days, yet we often neglect to think about just how exposed our movements are. Click on the Windows 'Start' menu then highlight 'Documents' - every file you've accessed recently. Now click Ctrl-H - a list of all the web sites you've visited today. Starting to get the picture? Thankfully there are lots of programs out there that can help you shield this information from prying eyes, and Privacy Guardian is one of the most comprehensive I've seen.

The application is a breeze to install and set up, and once running it cleans traces of your activity very thoroughly, including a file shredder to make sure that no one, but no one, sees that you were looking at that Spice Girls web site. Unfortunately there's no stealth mode within the program but Privacy Guardian makes up for this minor shortfall in other ways. For instance, it's the only tracks eraser I know of that can remove all MS Office history, and it has an automatic scheduler that performs clean-ups on startup or shutdown.

This is a highly user friendly application that lets you delete unwanted traces of PC and Net activity without a lot of hassle. Highly recommended.

Norton has been always considered to be a synonym of security. Some of their products have been in the market for years and are used by millions of computer users around the world on a daily basis. And Norton Internet Security is one of them.

This complete security suite has just released its latest version, with a noticeably better performance that makes the program run faster and an improved behavior, thanks to which you can just work with the computer or browse the web without being interrupted every now and then.

The suite includes antivirus and antispyware tools, along with two new features which I personally find very interesting: a network security monitor and an identity protection tool. The first one is especially good for wireless connections, as it enables you to prevent unauthorized accesses, while the second one protects you from phishing attacks by displaying an unattractive toolbar in your web browser.

On the downside, I found out that this program is really meant to be permanently running, as there's no option to switch it off. I know I'm not supposed to do that, but in any case there should be an easy, accessible way to temporarily turn protection off. Also, I didn't like the fact that this Norton comes bundled with the Yahoo! toolbar, although you can decline this offer during installation.

There may be different reasons to use SafeSpace: to remain protected from malware, to prevent access to your personal data while browsing the Internet or simply to try new applications without the risk of ruining your whole system configuration.

In any case, SafeSpace works as a kind of sandbox that enables you to launch applications, open files and download anything you want in a protected virtual environment that doesn't change or affect your system at all. You can select which applications can be launched in this safe mode, as well as the folders they'll have access to. The program displays a nicely designed interface and is very easy to use.

Just one more thing: in exchange for this extra security layer, you'll have to be patient because apps will be noticeably slower.

The program is pretty easy to operate and you can send files to digital heaven in just a few seconds. Inferno also boasts a tool for locking files with a password in order to prevent prying eyes from accessing your personal data. Overall, Inferno provides you with a fast and effective way of hiding data from others.

When it comes to crushing the evils of spyware and adware, AdAware is the undisputed king of the castle, and many people don’t even bother considering an alternative such is its popularity. However, there are a few genuine pretenders to AdAware’s crown, including the rather smart AVG Anti-Spyware.

Let’s start with a little dig at the developer’s slightly misleading branding of the product – AVG Anti-Spyware is not, in fact, a complete security suite because it doesn’t support detection of viruses and worms. It does though, do a sterling job at trawling your files for spyware and Trojans, and used in conjunction with a decent anti-virus app and a firewall you transform your PC into a fortress.

AVG Anti-Spyware boasts an incredibly simple interface and manages to cram a bevy of features into a single interface while still making everything look crystal clear. These options include a series of innovations not seen in other anti-spyware products, such as the ability to download test bugs, send infected files to the developer for testing, view and remove start-up apps with ease, and view reports of previously-saved scans. What’s more, it can automatically update the software online to obtain the latest spyware definitions.

When matched up against the might of AdAware, AVG Anti-Spyware performs admirably. Performing a full system scan with AVG Anti-Spyware is actually slightly quicker than its more popular rival, and the program managed to intercept several dubious files that AdAware missed. Having said this, when run the other way around, our tests showed that AdAware spotted dozens more than this that were ignored by AVG Anti-Spyware. Nevertheless, its ease-of-use, speed, and unique bug-bashing features make AVG Anti-Spyware a worthy alternative.
