San Francisco, CA January 22, 2004 -- WinGuides has released Privacy Guardian v2.0, a safe and easy-to-use Windows privacy protection tool that securely deletes Internet tracks and program history information stored on your computer.

Privacy Guardian guarantees your privacy by permanently erasing all traces of your Internet and computer activities. Information from every website you visit is stored on your computer in hidden Windows locations, including temporary files, cookies, the Windows registry, and the index.dat file. Web browsers provide partial privacy protection by allowing some temporary Internet files and cookies to be deleted. By contrast, Privacy Guardian cleans out all of these hidden files, and makes them unrecoverable.

In addition to removing sensitive files from Internet Explorer and Netscape, Privacy Guardian simply and securely erases history files from Windows, Microsoft Office, and Windows Media Player. By cleaning out old and unused temporary records, Privacy Guardian restores valuable hard drive space, and speeds up system performance.

Privacy Guardian is simple to install and easy to use. The program can be set to automatically protect your privacy at regular intervals. With Privacy Guardian installed on your computer you will never have to worry about prying eyes again.

Whether you're a business manager who wants to maintain security on your Internet research, an educator who doesn't want students copying each other's Internet studies, or a parent who doesn't want the kids to retrace your steps on the web, Privacy Guardian provides the tools that you need.

Privacy Guardian v. 2.0 runs under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. Prices begin at $29.95(US) for a single-user license, which may be purchased securely online at http://www.winguides.com/privacy/.
