Although Privacy Killer has been thoroughly tested to make it as
error free as possible, if you encounter any problems, then please
let us know by e-mailing the problem in detail to:
support@privacykiller.com Please include as much information as possible about the problem, such as: When it happened, what actions did you take before the problem occurred, and the error location. |

Q. I have more than one pc, do I need multiple licences of Privacy Killer? |
|

As of Privacy Killer v3+, a single purchase gives you up to 3 Licences. This means you can install and activate Privacy Killer on up to 3 machines. |
|
A. |
If you are a registered user and for whatever reason you cannot
find, have lost or have not
received your Activation Code within a reasonable amount of time (24
hours for credit card payments), please send us an e-mail to:
register@privacykiller.com Once we receive the request, we'll try to sort out the problem as soon as possible. (Please include you RegPK No, Name and E-mail and as much order information as possible, as it will be easier for us to track down the order.) |
|
A. |
Once Privacy Killer is purchased, refund can be made ONLY if you haven't obtained an Activation Code. If you have your Activation Code sent to you, then no refund can be made. That's why we provide you with a 21 Day Trial period of Privacy Killer. |

|
Q. Why has the File Shredder shredded a file, but hasn't deleted it? |
|
A. |
This is probably because the file was in use while Privacy Killer
attempted to Shred the file. Please make sure no other application is using the file whilst it is being shredded. Note: As of version 2+, Privacy Killer can automatically detect if a file is being used by another person or program. You will need to set this in the Preferences Menu: Options>Preferences>>Shredder Settings>>File Access Settings |
|
A. |
This may be because the file is in use by another person or program or the file you are attempting to shred. |
|
Q. What is Boss Key? |
|
A. |
A Boss Key lets you hide/show windows. An example would be hiding your Browser window. It's very useful when you are surfing on a website and someone (your boss or everyone else you don't want looking at your screen) walks in. By pressing the Browsers Boss Key (Default: ALT + Space Bar) it will immediately hide/show all Browser windows (Internet/AOL Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Opera and Safari). The same can be used for IM
(Internet Messengers) such as: AOL, ICQ, mIRC, MSN, Skype,
and Yahoo. |
|
A. |
Stealth Mode allows Privacy Killer to operate in the background in an invisible mode. Stealth Mode can also be described as an all in one Boss Key. Instead of pressing all the HotKeys individually, you can press the Global Panic Boss Key (Default: Win Key + F5) to hide/show all Browser windows, IM Messengers and Privacy Killer itself. |
|
A. |
Privacy Locker is a manager which stops all user activity.
Your screen gets locked and can only be unlocked if you enter the
correct password. (Default being empty) (Can be changed within Privacy Killer: Options>Preferences>Application Settings) The main advantage of this manager is that many computers are not password protected when the computer is started. Many users do not apply a password to their system, so that even when they Log Off, anyone can still access their account. Whereas Privacy Locker disables all user activity, so that no one can mess around with your files while away from your desk. |
|
A. |
Some websites may try to modify and change your Browsers Homepage by
changing the URL. Privacy Killer features a protection that
will continuously monitor for any changes to your Homepage. If
it detects and attempts to modify the homepage, it will alert you to
confirm, allowing you to approve or disapprove any changes.
Note: This only works for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. |
