How can you remove the pesky 
index.dat files from the history, cookies and temporary internet files? This is about erasing the slate clean of internet activities and keeping the PC (
personal computer) personal.[/quote]

   There are very few problems, if any, where there isn't some information on the net that will help you out.  Myself; I have not experianced any great problem from this issue.  I  use McAfee as my primary defense and thus have had few problems with invasions, intrusions, pop ups, etc.  One big problem since I became a McAffe when I had to completely wipe my primary hard drive (after saving all crucial data to another HD ), and then reinstalling all of my programs, drivers, etc..  Boy, wasn't that fun?   
 
     I have in my 
Favorites file quite a few computer help web sites that are helpful in moments of need.  And then a search on Google is usually quite productive.  I really don't know how I would survive without search engines.        
Some sites that I find helpful:
