WHENWEUSEsoftware that requires
personalinformation,the data is not
only stored on your computer but most
likely shared with the companythat
develops the software.Google’s
software is no exceptionand Maps,
Chrome,YouTube and other tools all
use and store your data and history.
There are good reasonsforthis.
Google’s software is provided free of
charge,and it earns incomefrom
advertisingrevenue.Tomake sure you
see ads relevant to you, Googleuses
your personalinformationto tailor
adverts,so you’re more likely to
respond.Youcan opt out of this, but
it’s not always straightforward.
GClean2019 can therefore be very
helpful: it detects Google’s full impact on your
computer,includingtools such as GoogleSearch,
Gmail, GoogleMaps, YouTube,Chrome,Google
Analytics,GoogleToolbar,Google Desktop Search,
GoogleEarth, GoogleUpdater and GooglePicasa.
Youcan then quicklyand easily remove your history,
clear downloadlists, remove Googlecookies,reset
your cache,remove form data and force the
applicationsto forget your saved passwords.
GCleancan be proactive,too.The Radar feature
will look out forfuture attempts to hijack your
computer,while the Search removalrequest
feature enablesyou to remove pages about you
from Google’s search facility.
