Smith Micro Software Releases Internet Cleanup 4.0 for the Macintosh
24 June 2006
Smith Micro Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMSI) announced today Internet Cleanup(TM) 4.0 for Macintosh, the latest version of the popular software that protects users' privacy and enhances their Internet experience. Internet Cleanup's comprehensive solution blocks users private information from being transmitted over the Internet without their approval, helps manage Instant Messenger (IM) chat logs, selectively blocks Flash ads, and gives users greater control over their Internet experience.
"With Internet Cleanup 4.0, users now have even greater control over the personal information that gets transmitted over the Internet," said Pauline Shumake, Senior Product Manager, Smith Micro Software, Inc. "Whether it's protecting their privacy from spyware or selectively blocking Flash and banner ads, Internet Cleanup is designed to enhance the surfing experience and solve the privacy concerns of all Mac users."
Internet Cleanup 4.0 contains a powerful array of features for Mac users:
* NOW UNIVERSAL BINARY -- Works natively with Intel and PowerPC based
Macintoshes.
* NEW! PERSONAL INFO PROTECTOR -- Personal Info Protector provides users
with a secure place to store all account numbers, passwords and any
other sensitive information. It eliminates the high-risk of using
unprotected sticky notes or spreadsheets to store easily forgotten but
important information, and prevents it from being transmitted across
the Internet.
* NEW! BLOCKS FLASH ADS -- Flash ads take forever to load and can be
distracting. With NetBlockade(TM) users now have the luxury of seeing
only the Flash content that they want.
* UPDATED! DETECT THE LATEST SPYWARE -- SpyAlert(TM) scans the computer
for evidence of surveillance Spyware and safely removes it.
* NEW! MAILCLEANER FILTERS ATTACHMENTS WITH SMART RULES --
MailCleaner(TM) now includes Smart Rules. Smart rules allow users to
create search criteria that can filter out or find email attachments
based upon file name, sender, file size, date, time and more.
* NEW! GREATER MAILCLEANER SUPPORT FOR APPLE MAIL -- MailCleaner allows
users to organize or delete Apple Mail attachments by moving them to
selected folders.
* NEW! SELECTIVE HISTORY EDITING -- Internet History Cleaner protects
user privacy by cleaning out specific sites from history lists,
deleting those that compromise privacy.

deletes instant messaging chat logs for major IM applications to keep
conversations private.
* PROTECT AGAINST SECRET MONITORING -- Network SpyAlert(TM) immediately
stops programs from sending data to the Internet without the user's
permission.
* BLOCK WEB-BASED SPIES -- NetBlockade(TM) blocks unwanted cookies, ads,
pop-ups as well as URL referrers that tell websites about the previous
web page a user visited.
* ELIMINATE DISTRACTING POP-UPS AND BANNERS -- NetBlockade accelerates
web surfing by blocking annoying banner ads, and pop-up and pop-under
windows.
* SHRED CONFIDENTIAL FILES SECURELY -- SecureDelete (TM) acts like a
digital document shredder, completely removing private files so they
cannot be recovered from a hard disk, even with special disk recovery
tools.
* KEEP SURFING HABITS PRIVATE -- Internet Cleanup clears away hidden
files that show outsiders which Web pages, sites, and images were
viewed. It can automatically delete unwanted cookies and protect the
cookies users want.
* INTERNET FILE FINDER TOOL -- Forms Auto-Fill Data Cleaner finds and
removes any auto-fill data collected by web browsers; Cookie Editor
gets rid of the browser cookies users don't want and keeps the ones
they do; Supports all major web browsers, including Safari, Firefox,
Mozilla, Internet Explorer/AOL Netscape, OmniWeb, Camino, iCab, Opera,
Sherlock, and Shiira.
* IT'S NOT ALL OR NOTHING ANYMORE -- Internet Cleanup allows cleaning
actions to be applied to individual files returned by searches. Move
items to the Trash or to a folder of the user's choosing.
* SCHEDULE TASKS -- The Scheduler tool lets users create scheduled tasks
to automatically perform searches and clean their system.
* RUN MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS AT THE SAME TIME -- Internet Cleanup's
multi-threaded implementation allows users to conduct multiple tasks
without having to wait for searches or other time-consuming operations
to complete. Users can see the progress of all searches and tasks in
the activity viewer window.
