Weaknesses: none as of yet.

Strengths: Does it's job without human intervention. Small program - nothing to install. (download and double click)
Weaknesses: Not enough info about the cookies it's deleting.
Overall Evaluation: It looks like the program only works with IE and not with Firefox. It's very fast. There are no choices once you start the program. Your old cookies are deleted within secounds. For newbies that could be a blissing. For more mature PC'ers you might want more control of that function. It gives a nice little report at the end of the process. In all it's a great little program and you can't beat the price...

Strengths: Small, simple, effective and free!
Weaknesses: Didn't know about it sooner
Overall Evaluation: This program was mentioned in a PC World article and seemed to be unique. I use a secutity suite and a separate anti-spyware. Both warn of cookes, but most are ranked as little threat. When I did a wholesale removal, I regretted it because it made surfing the web more time consuming when filling in forms, etc. I didn't realize that many cookies had expiration dates. Apparently, the big security companies don't want to bother with them, but as long and they're checking, why not do away with the clutter? This little program downloads fast, did it's thing even faster, and removed 97 useless cookies in seconds. Love it!
