Ashampoo Privacy Inspector 3.00.11

Ashampoo Privacy Inspector 3 is a focused privacy-auditing tool for Windows that helps users discover, analyze and remove hidden traces across the system. Designed to give clear control over personal data and device activity, it combines a powerful search engine, new analysis modules and secure deletion methods to tighten privacy for home and professional users alike.

Key Features

• Powerful keyword and file search across folders, files, Explorer history and all browser profiles to locate sensitive data fast.
• Activities module that records .exe launches, file access, installs, user logins, shutdowns and other system events for a comprehensive activity overview.
• USB device log showing every ever-connected USB stick or drive with first and last connection timestamps.
• ADS-Scanner for detecting Alternate Data Streams (hidden data attached to files) and removing suspicious streams safely.
• Internet Cleaner with history, cookies, downloads, form data and a deletion history that supports current browser versions.
• DNS-Cache and Hosts inspection with clear viewing and quick clearing to prevent stale or spoofed DNS entries.
• File Wiper for irreversible deletion of sensitive files so they cannot be recovered by recovery tools.
• Telemetry and privacy hardening options to disable unwanted data sharing, sync and location features.

Scanning and Detection

Privacy Inspector performs accelerated, multicore-optimized scans to find passwords, cookies, search terms, downloaded files, form entries and other traces. The program’s many filters let you narrow results by type, frequency or time, and the enhanced search includes Windows Explorer and multiple user profiles for complete coverage.

Analysis Modules

• Activities: Aggregates events from multiple sources to show who did what and when on the PC.
• USB Overview: Reveals which external devices accessed the system and when.
• ADS Scanner: Detects and explains hidden streams attached to files and enables safe removal.
• Internet Traces: Reconstructs browsing sessions in list or tree view and shows navigation paths, link use and visit times.

Privacy Management and Data Safety

After analysis the app presents actionable reports and one-click clean operations. Users remain in control with selective deletion, a deletion history and secure wiping for irreversible removal. Telemetry controls and privacy tweaks let you disable unwanted Windows and app behaviours without elevated system risk.

User Experience and Performance

The interface is modern and compartmentalized, making scans and result navigation intuitive for non-technical users while offering depth for power users. Optimized memory management and multicore support keep scans fast and minimise system impact during operations.
