Ashampoo’s Privacy Inspector just requires a few minutes to collect and put together residues of all your activities in Windows. It lists hundreds of websites visited, thousands of search terms typed in, and tens of thousands of other web traces.
Which’s just the start. Profiles and passwords, apps and files, even the files you have actually recently deleted from your hard disk drive are found by Ashampoo’s $15 Privacy Inspector. A few of these can be erased straight.
The Privacy Inspector also provides access to a number of little-known privacy settings of Windows. Did you understand, for example, that Windows gathers telemetry data and sends it to Microsoft?
Despite all the useful features, however, we also found some unnecessary and even questionable options throughout our time evaluating the software application. For example, Internet Explorer (which is no longer formally available) can have its privacy alternatives tuned, while Amazon’s Alexa plug-in (which might be set up however hasn’t work for a year) can be shut off. Both of those appear rather unnecessary. And, more questionably, you can just restrict or cut the app’s connection to the Ashampoo Service Channel by wading deep into a reasonably surprise area in Privacy Inspector’s settings.
Conclusion
With a little effort and a great deal of time, most of the details that Ashampoo finds can also be gathered by hand. If you wish to erase your actions with very little headache, however, the Privacy Browser conveniently and thoroughly lists the information that Windows and your internet browsers collect, lets you delete those tracks, and makes it simple to switch off some tracking functions.
