CLEAN OUT THE CRAP

Regular readers will know that Windows secretly logs the address of every web site you have ever visited from the day you first switched on your PC in hidden and protected files called index.dat. You may also know that over the years we have been a big fan of a freeware index.dat cleaner utility called Spider but unfortunately it doesn’t work on Windows XP. Now the long search for an effective freeware cleaner for XP is over, and it’s called (excuse the language…) Crap Cleaner or ‘CC’ as we’ll refer to it from now on. It does a bang-up job of removing all traces of your web browsing, as well as clearing out all of the other little tell tales that Windows stores and it also includes a registry cleaner utility. Crap Cleaner is freeware, there are no adware or spyware components and it is polite to make a small donation to the author if you find it useful and continue to use it.
