McAfee Total Protection Tracker Remover is a feature within the McAfee Total Protection software suite that helps detect and remove tracking cookies and other tracking mechanisms from your computer. Tracking cookies are small pieces of data stored by websites to monitor and record your online activities. While many tracking cookies are harmless and used for legitimate purposes, such as remembering login information or personalizing user experiences, some are used for more invasive tracking and data collection.
The Tracker Remover tool aims to enhance your privacy by identifying and eliminating these tracking elements, thereby preventing advertisers and other third parties from collecting information about your browsing habits without your consent. This feature is part of McAfee Total Protection which includes antivirus protection, firewall security, and other privacy-enhancing tools.
In order to use Tracker Remover, we have to first open McAfee Total Protection dashboard, select My Protection, and then Tracker Remover. We can begin by clicking on the Get Started button.
In the window that opens, we can choose the items that must be removed by Tracker Remover. We can choose to remove temporary files, the Recycle Bin items, browser history, browser cookies and trackers. Clicking on the Continue button will start the removal of these files. Before you proceed, make sure you have closed all the web browser windows. This is because it cannot remove trackers from running browsers.
McAfee Total Protection includes various scheduling options for its security features including Tracker Remover. Using this feature we can schedule an automatic scan of your PC for the trackers. It can also auto-remove the found trackers from your system.
Tracker Remover uses secure overwriting methods to remove the trackers. This way it leaves no trace of the deleted data on the hard drive. The deleted data becomes unrecoverable even with the help of a good recovery software.
