Description: Clear Cache, erase History permanently with NetShred X, the easy-to-use internet track eraser for Mac OS X that securely erases cached files your browser and email programs leave behind. NetShred X is the internet privacy software that is easy, fast and cleaner. Easy because it runs automatically - you don't have to remember to use it.

Description: Spotless is a simple utility designed to enable and disable Spotlight content indexing of volumes with the click of a button.Spotlight content indexing can cause major slow-downs on volumes that are used for backup purposes, video rendering, Photoshop scratch disks, and a wide variety of tasks that involve the transfer of large amounts of data. Spotless can effectively and indefinitely disable the indexing of volumes that you specify. Even if the volume is a removable device, the indexing status is remembered when you remount it - even on a different computer!Simply adding volumes to Spotlight's privacy list does not achieve the same results as using Spotless. You may cause the Metadata Server to crash, and the volumes may be indexed the next time you mount them. Also, while adding volumes to the privacy list disables content indexing, it also prevents you from finding the files by name.Spotless allows you to delete existing Spotlight indexes. This will free up the space used by the index files on volumes...
