Chapter 3. Complex PC clean-up
Using variants of complex PC clean-up described below, you can clean a large
number of various Windows components that regain evidence of your PC
activity, and also remove various spyware that perform unauthorized actions on
your PC.
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 Privacy
Expert Suite sections described below (see Chapter 4 «Separate PC components
clean-up»). Separate component clean-up is faster than any variant of complex
PC clean-up.
