I downloaded this after seeing it advertised as a freebie. I don't know
if I am having an early "senior moment" but can't quite get to grips
with it. I thought I understood the concept of it, but then realised
after rebooting and all my changes had reverted, that maybe I hadn't!
After careful thought and re-reading it, I came to the conclusion it is
something like Roxio Goback, or even System Restore to some degree. The
program I had installed which was an updated version of one I was beta
testing had disappeared, and the previous version was back on. As it is
supposed get rid of your Browsing History etc, I noticed it had done,
but hadn't got rid of everything completely, only the stuff before the
reboot. Do I take it at the end of a computing session I deactivate it
to save anything I have done, then at some point reactivate to monitor
again? As each time this is done it looks like I will be forever
rebooting to activate and deactivate. Can't quite get to grips with the
"cover your Internet browsing tracks" thing either. Not that I have
anything to hide I hasten to add. (Although some may differ:-))
