Disk Cleaning and Internet Privacy for Windows and Mac

R-Wipe & Clean is a complete R-Tools solution to erase useless files on your computer, prevent identity theft, and maintain computer privacy. Using this program, you can erase files and folders using fast, secure wiping algorithms, clean your computer from various privacy-compromising information on your online and offline activity like browser's cached files, history of visited sites, cookies, stored web passwords, lists of downloaded files, lists of recently opened documents, various program caches, temporary files, and many more. The program can erase activity traces of many third-party applications, such as their scratch files, temporary folders, system data, etc. All small computer cleaning and file erasing jobs can be combined into large computer cleaning tasks that can be started immediately, or at scheduled time/events.
