Closes the log window automatically when the cleanup is done.

Saves the cleanup log to a file on the hard drive. The file is saved in the same folder where the program settings are stored, usually C:\Document and Settings\UserName\Application Data\UnH Solutions\IE Privacy Keeper\cleanup.log

Displays "cannot access file/folder" errors in the log window.

It is highly recommended that you close all browser windows before performing the cleanup. IE Privacy Keeper warns you if there are running instances of the browser.

Hides IE Privacy Keeper from the process list of the Task Manager.

Delete files securely in accordance with the DOD 5220.22-M standard. The standard requires at least 3 passes when overwriting the file's data, but we recommend to set only 1 pass to speed up the cleanup process. Even one pass produces good results.

To further increase the security you can enable additional options:

• Rename folders before deletion - renames the folder 26 times using random names;
• Reset file size to zero before deletion - setting the file size to zero helps to trick a few data recovery tools;
• Move files/folders to the specified folder before deletion - moving a file or a folder before deletion will make it impossible for data recovery tools to determine the original location (path) of the file/folder.

The sequence of the secure delete function:

1. Overwrites the file's data;
2. Renames the file 26 times;
3. Moves the file to the specified folder;
4. Resets the file size to zero;
5. Deletes the file.

All secure delete options work correctly only on NTFS formatted drives (volumes). File and folder renaming, resetting file size to zero, moving a file/folder before deletion will not always work correctly or will not work at all on FAT32 formatted drives (usually 98/ME systems). Nevertheless, the secure delete function (overwriting the file's data) works correctly on both NTFS and FAT32 drives (volumes).

Set up the hotkey to start the clean up. The hotkey allows you to start the cleanup from any program anytime.
