Clear Windows Activity History
Remove Windows search and run history, recent document records, temporary traces, and other local activity details that can reveal how a shared PC was used.
If you share a PC, lend a laptop, work on public-facing computers, or handle private documents, local activity traces can remain visible longer than expected. GiliSoft Privacy Protector helps clean browser and Windows traces, lock or hide sensitive files, and securely shred confidential data from one privacy-focused workflow.
It can remove Windows activity records, browser traces, and application history; hide, lock, or protect private files; create a personal private space; and securely erase sensitive data that should not remain recoverable after ordinary deletion.
Scheduled cleanup, self-protection, recovery-email settings, and trusted-path exclusions make it practical for shared home computers, office PCs, school labs, support desks, and routine privacy checks before a device is lent, returned, or reassigned.
