HideDragon is a clean software utility which can be used in order to hide particular IPs, windows and system tray icons, as well as clean history.

The installation process does not offer to add or download any third-party products and brings you to a clear-cut interface. It only encloses a menu bar and several tabs, so that you can easily navigate through all the actions available. Aside from that, it can be used with great ease by anybody, regardless of their previous experience with computers.

One of the first tabs enables you to view a list of all the windows currently opened on your  PC, along with their title and ID. Double-clicking an item from here will automatically hide it, while right-clicking on an item will bring up a context menu which enables you to background a window, assign it a hotkey, add it to auto-hide list, set its transparency level and change its title and icon. The latter is possible by uploading an ICO picture from the hard drive.

This program also lets you clean your computer’s history, with the help of a folder structure. To be more precise, you can choose whether to delete particular items or not, such as temporary Internet files, run command dialog history, system Clipboard, Internet cookies and open file trace.

Last but not least, you can hide your IP address and manage system tray icon list, as well as the auto-hide one. The app can be password-protected, the language can be changed, tips can be shown and it can be forced to always stay on top of all other launched processes.

In conclusion, HideDragon is a pretty decent piece of software, with a somewhat user-friendly interface and a fairly good response time. Nonetheless, an update is in order.
