Chapter 2. Complex PC Clean-up
Using variants of
complex PC clean-up
described below, you can
clean a
large number of various
Windows
components
that keep evidence of your
PC activity.
Vice versa, if you need to clean-up
only a specific
Windows
component
, for
example, last visited Internet pages, you should use one of the Acronis
PrivacyExpert sections, described below (see Chapter 3 «Separate PC
Components Clean-up»). Separate component clean-up is faster than any
variant of complex PC clean-up.
