Many families share one computer and, although they have their own user account, you only need to move away from your computer to answer the phone or have something to eat and your account is open to anyone who uses the machine. When you browse the Internet and enter personal information online, this information is stored on your computer. Even if you drag the items to trash (or simply delete them), they're easily recoverable.

PC Tools Privacy Guardian 4, a full commercial application worth £20, will enable you to safeguard your privacy as you browse the Internet. As soon as you close your browser, you can wipe your web browsing tracks. If you want to be absolutely sure of your privacy, use the supplied shredder tool which will permanently erase the files. Download PC Tools Privacy Guardian 4 and remember to get your serial code.
