Privacy is not something you can expect to get when surfing on the Internet. Everything you do is logged somewhere and the information can be used or sold against your will. Privacy Optimizer can fix numerous issues regarding your privacy, which the operating system fails to address. The software can shield your system against known websites with suspicious behavior, monitor your background processes and remove your activity traces. It also allows you to protect your local data, tweak the operating system to make it more secure and much more.

Privacy Optimizer is free to try for 14 days, without any restrictions. The setup procedure is straightforward, but you have to provide and confirm an email address before starting the actual installation process. The software can be used on Windows XP or any later version and it does not ask for powerful hardware.

At a first glance, the user interface may look a bit crowded, but understanding its layout and functions is not a challenge. You can activate a series of features, like real time process and website monitoring or trace cleanup, by clicking a series of on/off options, located on the upper part of the interface. It is also possible to activate a series of databases, in which you can assign trust ratings to websites, software and web browsers.

The main area of the interface is where you can switch between different sets of options, for tweaking the Windows privacy settings, shredding files, protecting folders and managing passwords and credit cards. The Windows privacy settings include a series of enable and disable options for various features, like automatic updates, background downloads, network information and so on.

The functionality of the file shredder or the password and credit card managers should be obvious. However, the folder protector works differently than other similar utilities. It operates only with your current hardware configuration and operating system and with all Privacy Optimizer files intact.

Pros

The software provides a good number of security features. It can monitor your running processes for suspicious activity, block questionable websites and more. You can also protect folders, shred files and manage sensitive information, like passwords or credit card details.

Cons

Data loss is a possibility if you are not careful with the folder protector. Privacy Optimizer gives you the possibility of surfing the web, downloading files and making online bank transactions in a secure manner.
