MyPermissions Cleaner for IE Description
Social networks are not only used as a means of getting in touch with friends and family, but are nowadays a strong means of managing a business. Since nearly anyone can access the Internet, specialized websites require credentials in order to offer services only to you. In order to prevent malicious attempts, MyPermissions Cleaner for IE lets you know which web apps do so and let you decide whether or not it is appropriate.

See what apps affect your social experience
There is a list of default services and web apps that take advantage of your credentials in order to automatically send emails or post notifications on your behalf whether you like it or not. After little time spent scanning, you can choose the ones you consider need handling.
Needless to say that once again you need to provide you credentials so that the application can sniff through your account to detect possible malicious intentions. If any, these are stored in categories like act on your behalf, know your location, access inbox or contacts info, access media and files, basic permissions and a few miscellaneous attempts.
Decide whether or not to block permissions
In case you want to trigger a major cleaning session, the press of a button denies all permissions for the selected online service. Moreover, you can take your time to go through all detected apps to see which makes use of your credentials the most and if you consider it shouldn’t, there’s the possibility to cut off all permissions or report it so that awareness is raised amongst other users.
