Paros is a great little tool, however it can leave traces of its use due to an altered User-Agent header. (Adding Paros/x.x.x at the end of the UA, where x is the version). This can lead to problems some of which, including this fix, are detailed at Security Ripcord and Armor.
To remove this download the source and edit line 80 of Constant.java from
public static final String USER_AGENT = PROGRAM_NAME + “/” + PROGRAM_VERSION;
to
public static final String USER_AGENT = “”;
and recompile.
This should remove the obvious traces!
