When information is deleted with the tools
- History/MRU cleaner
- Privacy Protector
is the deleted data recoverable, or is it permanently deleted and not recoverable. From an effective privacy protection point of view, you would want the information not recoverable - is this the case?
Also, with Privacy Protector, the handbook says it clears all unwanted Cookies and History items at every system startup. I am using Kaspersky AntiVirus Pro 5.0 which immediately upon startup scans about 5000 files on the system (this scan cannot be turned off and it takes about a minute to finish).
With both Kaspersky and jv16 being activated immediately after startup, both of them would seem to be trying to do their own thing at exactly the same time. Is there any problem with two things competing for the same time. As both are doing critical things, one would not like to see a clash or conflict that could result in things gettiing mucked up?
From other threads on startup problems, the advice is given to deactivate anti-virus monitoring. But it would seem undesirable to have to deactivate the anti-virus monitoring during startup because while the PC is always connected to the internet via a cable modem router with SP2 firewall behind that, the Microsoft Security Centre shows a Task bar balloon advising that the system is at risk and to activate anti-virus monitoring. Things get intialised in about 3 seconds, and the balloon clears. So it would seem that there are a few seconds during startup antivirus/firewall initialisation when the system would be exposed. With this going on and now jv16 deleting cookies and history at the same time, it would be undesirable to delay the anti-virus/firewall initialisation
If there is a potential problem, can the Privacy Protector be activated manually before shutting down rather than be done automatically after startup? Handbook and threads dont say.
Sorry for the long and multifaceted post, but it all relates. Many thanks.
