Privacy Agent 1.2-Simple browser history and cookie cleaner

*Privacy Agent* is a system cleaning application that scans your computer for
items that potentially track your browsing. Privacy Agent has one job and one
job only. It scans your computer for things like *cookies and other things
that make your info vulnerable to tracking*. While cookies themselves are not
actually harmful, the information they collect can be used by spammers or
websites to snoop on your browsing habits. Launching Privacy Agent will show
a whimsically animated "secret agent." The program will then scan your
computer fairly quickly and shows a list of items it thinks it should purge
from your system. Privacy Agent supports IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. You
can expand the list to see exactly what items have been flagged by Privacy
Agent. Continue and your computer will be rid of *privacy-threatening
cookies*. That's it! Your computer is now more secure. Performance of Privacy
Agent is good but CCleaner still outperforms it and offers a bunch of other
useful features as well. It is *hard to recommend Privacy Agent* over
CCleaner as CCleaner has more control, speedier performance, and many more
features. While Privacy Agent's interface is more fun and flashy, it's not
really necessary and doesn't make for a better app. *Overall, Privacy Agent
does what it does well but it just can't match CCleaner's performance or
features.*Download *Privacy Agent 1.2* in Softonic
