NEW WEB PRIVACY APPLICATION RELEASED

If you think it's not quite so wise to expect the law to protect your privacy rights all the time, you may be right. And Advercast LLC has a new application which can help you do that yourself - SurfSecret Version 2.

You can surf anywhere you want and SurfSecret will clear your tracks so no one will know where you have been, the company says.

When you surf , Advercast continues, images and text get stored on your hard disk, creating a mirror image of your surfing experience. Your browser creates cache files and stores information on your hard disk, the company says, which leaves a trail easily read - but SurfSecret is designed to destroy the trail periodically.

It's designed for Windows and integrates with Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and America Online, and also cleans trails in such window locations as the document menu, run and find menus, and the recycle bin. And you can choose the intervals at which the application cleans up.

Other features include stealth mode and password protection to keep its operations secret.

The Windows version costs $29.95 for a single licence, though site licenses are available as well. And, to learn more, and also get an evaluation copy, visit www.surfsecret.com
