Secure Some E-Privacy: NetShred Gets OS X Release

Secure Some E-Privacy: NetShred Gets OS X Release

by , 2:00 PM EST, December 6th, 2002

The Mireth Technology Corporation has released an OS X version of NetShred 3.0.1. NetShred is an internet privacy utility designed to prevent a history trail being created in a users browser and email. The OS X version includes all the features previously found in the Classic version. According to The Mireth Corporation:

Mireth Technology has released the OS X version of NetShred, it's popular privacy utility. NetShred X 3.0.1 for Macintosh shreds web browser cache, browser history files, email trash, IE download cache and Apple junk mail. It supports several Web browsers and email applications, and runs automatically when you quit from your browser or email application.

Anyone can look through your web browser&Mac226;s cache and history files and see what information you have accessed on the web. Do you really want to risk having your private information read by anyone with access to your computer? NetShred X provides an easy, permanent way of securely deleting browser cache, history files, email trash and more. Permanent because it shreds (not just deletes) these files so the contents cannot be recovered. Easy because it runs automatically when you quit from your browser or email application.

You can find more information about the OS X version of NetShred at the Mireth Technology Corporation Web site. NetShred 3.0.1 is available for US$19.95.
