PrivacyScan overview
PrivacyScan provides protection by scanning your Mac for files that could compromise your privacy and offers multiple levels of shredding to securely erase them from your system. Now available for demo download! Safely and securely destroy Internet files used for tracking your whereabouts such as cache files, browsing history, cookies, flash cookies and temporary files to clean your Mac and save space while stopping snoopers from spying on your system.
With PrivacyScan, you can rest assured that your tracks remain covered, your private information remains private, and deleted items stay that way. The secure shredding offered within PrivacyScan goes above and beyond United States Department of Defense (DoD) deletion standards by overwriting files with up to 35 passes to ensure complete deletion of sensitive data.

Version: 1.9.5
Paid for it and they abandoned it. No updates since 2018. And they wonder why people don't pay for software.

Privacy scan 1.9.5 has not been updated since 2018! There is a comment that bugs were fixed but the bug fix list is not working at all and it crashes constantly. There's no reply from the app developer at all. There's no longer clears out browser history and no longer functions with the latest Mac OS

I love it! Fast, virtually foolproof. Frees up lots of space and keeps Internet surfing private. I've been using it for years.

A five-star review was left on October 11, 2018, but now we're running Mojave 10.14.1, and Privacy Scan 1.9.5, updated to match, continues to keep Safari (and our iMac in general) running fast and clean. It's the last app we run every night before shutdown.

Does Not Work on Mac High Sierra or later with Safari.
After upgrading a MacBook Air OS to High Sierra Privacy Scan routinely failed to clean cookies or other "threats" on Safari.
After upgrading to Mojave (10.14) Privacy Scan fails to clean almost everything on Safari -- including after updating Privacy Scan to the very latest version.
Privacy Scan version 1.9.4
I find simply going thru Finder to Library (holding the Alt/Option key down) and manually dragging all files from the Cache, Logs and Cookies to the Trash and deleting does as well as Privacy Scan did, and now exceeds Privacy Scan's capabilities with Safari.
Since that cleans what Privacy scan does with the other search engines, I see no need or value in this utility until it is fixed to also clean Safari files.
