Features

Publisher's description of Wash N' Go 2.3.4.1

From RedLeg Software:

Wash N' Go is a system-cleaning tool that securely wipes your system and Internet-surfing traces, including passwords and credit card data. The program supports 10 browsers (Internet Explorer, Advanced, Avant, Enigma, Firefox, Maxthon, NetCaptor, Netscape, Opera, and Slim Browser). It cleans more than 30 Windows system areas, 10 MS Office programs, and more than 50 popular Internet-related software programs. Wash N' Go has eight integrated levels of secure deletion, such as #0 overwrite, military (U.S. DoD 5220.22-M, NISPOM, NSA), and the full 39 steps of Dr P. Gutmann.

Wash N' Go has an IE cookie, the IE ActiveX/Spyware Manager, Mail, and the Task Manager for automatic washes. You can create your own objects to wash. The program comes with the file/folder shredder Vanish, also available as a right-click menu option in Windows Explorer. Wash N' Go has multilanguage support and supports multiple users. Version 2.3.4.1 upgrades the uninstaller to be compliant with Download.com total removal specifications; adds an additional Uninstall shortcut in the Start menu; and repairs the Windows 98SE/2000 in combination with MS's IE6 Registry Stream bug that incidentally could cause the desktop to act improper or cause error messages.

Editor's review of Wash N' Go 2.3.4.1

  • 5.0 stars

  • "Scrub it down"
This privacy utility offers just about every feature we like to see in this type of application. The cleverly designed interface, which mimics a box of laundry detergent, is a big point in this program's favor. Similar to virtually all applications in this class, Wash N' Go cleans out your browser's temporary files, cache, cookies, and typed URLs. It's great the program now supports many Web browsers beyond Internet Explorer, including Firefox, Opera, and NetCaptor. The application also can wipe traces from common Windows system areas, including the Clipboard and the Run menu. It includes a file shredder, giving you multiple ways to securely delete files. The list of supported third-party applications seems quite comprehensive and includes support for popular IM clients and design programs. The ability to schedule cleaning sessions and to run the program in stealth mode are big pluses, though some users might find the 11-day trial period rather short. Average Web surfers looking to hide their traces likely will find this program offers just about everything they need.

    Version: Wash N' Go 2.3.4.1

    "Effective & Thorough Program"

    by Rikman on September 6, 2005

    Pros: After deciding there was a need for an internet cleanup tool for my system (I have XP Home with SP2), I came here to Download.com. I tried all the highest rated programs here that are designed for this purpose (I did this in early Sept.'05). RedLeg's Wash N' Go product proved to be the best! I use Internet Explorer; Wash N' Go did a terrific job of cleaning out the history, cache and cookies. Also it can be easily configured to clean many other areas in Windows. I should also mention that I quickly received a reply from their tech support...This also is a plus.

    Cons: After installing Wash N' Go v2.3.4.1 release 4, I noticed on subsequent reboots that my startup monitors (I have four of them) were alerting me to Wash N' Go (this happened at each reboot). This was an annoyance. I contacted RedLeg tech support via email and they assured me that they were aware of this and that an update would be available within the next 2 weeks to correct this.
