Simple browser history and cookie cleaner

Privacy Agent is a system cleaning application that scans your computer for items that potentially track your browsing.

Privacy Agent has one job and one job only. It scans your computer for things like cookies and other things that make your info vulnerable to tracking. While cookies themselves are not actually harmful, the information they collect can be used by spammers or websites to snoop on your browsing habits.

Launching Privacy Agent will show a whimsically animated "secret agent." The program will then scan your computer fairly quickly and shows a list of items it thinks it should purge from your system. Privacy Agent supports IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. You can expand the list to see exactly what items have been flagged by Privacy Agent. Continue and your computer will be rid of privacy-threatening cookies. That's it! Your computer is now more secure.

Performance of Privacy Agent is good but CCleaner still outperforms it and offers a bunch of other useful features as well. It is hard to recommend Privacy Agent over CCleaner as CCleaner has more control, speedier performance, and many more features. While Privacy Agent's interface is more fun and flashy, it's not really necessary and doesn't make for a better app.

Overall, Privacy Agent does what it does well but it just can't match CCleaner's performance or features.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
