Window Washer is a very cool, very useful program. You could spend an hour rummaging through your computer deleting your browser cache, cookies, temp files, address bar history, and even those nearly impossible to delete index.dat files. With Windows Washer, you don't have to waste all that time and energy. Window Washer makes doing these tasks quick and easy.
Some of the new features of the latest version include:
* Deeper cleaning power to cover even more areas of your PC
* Free space cleaner to free up more of your PC's resources
* Protection for more browsers including Mozilla and Firefox
When I tested Window Washer for the first time, it cleared out an amazing 700MB worth of garbage files, most of it temporary files left over from programs that hadn't cleaned up after themselves. It deleted all of these files very quickly. Since then, it has deleted over 10 GB of trash files through regular cleanings.
Window Washer also deleted the index.dat file in my browser cache, a file that Windows normally refuses to let you alter. It reduced it from 1.8MB all the way down to 32KB. There is an optional setting to clean out the browser cache, address bar history, cookies and other internet usage traces every time the browser is closed.
There is an option to overwrite "slack space". "Slack space" refers to areas of the hard drive that show as empty to the system, but might contain data that was deleted previously. Another option adds "bleach to the washing". That is Window Washer's way of saying that it overwrites data with gibberish several times to prevent data recovery programs from putting deleted files back together. The number of times it will overwrite these files can be configured to NSA (7 passes), DoD (3 passes), and Gutmann standards (35 passes). You can set it to whatever number you want.
