DESCRIPTION
Internet Cleanup is a utility that cleans up cleans up internet preferences and files left behind that may have sensitive data in them. It also has the following features:

Protect Your Personal Information
Stop your personal information from being transmitted over the Internet. You choose what information you want protected, and only a password can unlock it. If you are tricked onto a non-secure web page, Internet Cleanup's Personal Info Protector will prevent any of that protected info from populating any forms.

Detect and Eliminate Spyware
Surveillance programs watch your every move. Don’t let someone record what you type, track where you go, or take snapshots of your screen. Internet Cleanup 4's enhanced Network SpyAlert™ makes it even easier to stop programs from making secret online connections and stop spam emails from reporting back home.

Now Selectively Block FLASH Ads
Pop-ups are distracting and annoying. Banner ads can slow down your surfing to a crawl. Netblockade™ will filter ads selectively or turn them off entirely, block pop-ups and pop-unders, and even block Flash ads! NetBlockade supports all major browsers, including Safari, Firefox, and IE.

Sort and Toss Unwelcome Email Attachments
Strip unwanted attachments from Apple Mail, Entourage, and Eudora emails without deleting the text message they arrived with, automatically! With the SmartRules™, you can sort through thousands of email for particular attachments, then delete, move, or archive them!

Cover Your Online Tracks
Wield total control over third party web cookies, or let Internet Cleanup's enhanced and automated cookie management handle the cleanup tasks for you. Erase web browser histories and cache files, erase Instant Messenger chat logs, and more.

Stop Web Sites from Watching You
Browsers store the web pages you visit! Anyone can easily examine your web browser’s cache, cookies, and history of sites visited! Internet Cleanup 4 supports more browsers than ever before!

Make Sure Those Files are Truly Gone
Tossing private or confidential files in the trash doesn’t prevent them from being recovered. Even emptying the trash won’t protect you from prying eyes. Shred those Files! Secure Delete™ ensures your files will be permanently overwritten and completely unrecoverable.

WHAT'S NEW

  • Device Sentry: Stops pod-slurping and other forms of data theft by preventing thieves from mounting iPods, thumb drives, or other external USB or Firewire devices without authorization
  • Bookmark Manager: Easily synchronizes bookmarks for all web browsers on the Mac
  • Simple File Hider: Protects privacy by hiding any file or folder in Finder from snoopers
  • Many more enhancements.

    *....

    SYHARRIS  I've used Internet Cleanup over the years through several versions (first Aladdin owned it, then Allume and now Smith-Micro) but eventually abandoned it in disgust due to endless problems with it.

    When IC 5.0 became available, I decided to give it another try thinking, "maybe Smith-Micro finally got Internet Cleanup together".......one could hope, no?

    Alas, no joy...sigh.

    Internet Cleanup 5.0 caused my Mac to freeze, again and again; so I trashed the diabolical thing and requested my money back, which, to Smith-Micro's credit, was granted promptly and without issue.  (Version 5.0)

    TEE123  Help!

    i have the same pop up problem...

    I've followed the step-by-step instruction which seems to work for most of the users, however I couldn't locate the files contains 'aladdinsys' and the 'allume'..the pop up still goes on and getting on my nerves..

    just to avoid seeing the pop ups, I use the Mac space function and work in other spaces...   (Version 5.0)

    GZLAKEWOOD  For all those who are frustrated about not being able to remove "Network SpyAlert has expired" pop-up. Relax.

    My anger was not justified. To remove notice, use step three: Find Apple's Automator, I destroy.

    It is on Micro Smith web page. It solved the problem! Again, go to their Web site,

    find stated problem and follow simple instructions.

    Smith Micro is really fair and O.K.
