Publisher's description
From Webroot Software,Inc :Cache & Cookie Washer for IE is a very useful program for cleaning up tracks that you leave behind when using Internet Explorer. Many people do not realize that Internet Explorer stores information about what the user has done on the Internet and what web sites the user has visited. Internet Explorer even allows web sites to store cookies, which are files that may possibly contain personal information about the user. As a result, anyone else can see what you have been doing on the Internet with IE, which raises several privacy concerns. Furthermore, much of your IE activity information takes up valuable disk space, and recovering this space can be very beneficial.
Cleaning up the history of your activities from Internet Explorer can be a tedious chore of manually removing each history file or entry. Moreover, some files (like the "Index.dat" file contained in the history folder of IE) cannot be cleaned within Windows. Even if you clean your cache, cookies, and history from within the Internet Explorer browser regularly, the index.dat files will continue to store information about what web sites you have visited and what cookies have been saved. A common problem is that these index.dat files can grow to an enormous size, taking up drive space and slowing down the IE browser.
If privacy and disk space are to be maintained, cleaning these tracks must be done every time you are finished using IE. Cache & Cookie Washer automates this process for you! It will automatically run in the background and clean up whatever tracks you want removed, whenever you want.
