Whenever you use a computer it stores a record of all activity performed on it.
Not only does this pose a privacy risk if sharing a PC, but it can also hog a great deal of hard disk space. Clean this out and you should notice a performance improvement.
There is full support for the major browsers. Free plugins are available to download that allow a vast range of third-party applications to be safely washed.
Washes can be carried out either manually or automatically. Wash your PC at Startup or Shutdown, or perform a wash at predefined intervals. Whichever option you choose, washing occurs without any interference to your use of the PC.
