Looking for a cache cleaner

[hops]

I'm fairly new to this computing stuff and am told that in addition to the security programs I have I should have an automatic cache cleaner. Any suggestions?

For what Microsoft Operating System ?? Most have a built-in way to do all that but here are some third party programs.

I have just installed and am running cleancache on an XP system. It is a very effective and efficient program which does lots of useful things, including getting rid of cache information held in index.dat files in Temporary Internet and cookie Folders. And it has auto settings. Caution: If you set it to clean on next startup, you might think your computer has hung during the log-in stage of bootup. It hasn't. It just takes a little time. Maybe better to set it to clean on windows shutdown.

Thank you for the good words!

And I can confirm he's not a relative! :)

Hi hops.... It's a very good program but the thing is, you DO have to have .NET Framework 1.1 installed on your system for it to run, and that's a pretty big file, around 23Mb from Microsoft. :o

Just a heads up first, especially if you are on dial-up.

Apart from that I can certainly vouch for 'Primrose' and 'WY-Baugh' from GSF. ;D and the link Primrose gave here does tells you in more detail about needing .NET Framework.

Cheers, TAS

I also like and use System Security Suite. It will erase your IE cookies, history, and cache, among other things. Plus the index.dat files associated with them. And is so easy to use. Just check off what you want to delete and click clear selected items. Best of all it's totally free!
