I have used CC Cleaner without a problem that I can see up to this point so hearing from friends the bad reviews on the Registry cleaner I went to the site for clarification. The reviewers assume I intuitively know enough to follow their recommendation.

When I encounter a problem it generally results from not enough knowledge to accomplish successfully a very simple task as provided by the person supplying the steps to do so. My greatest concern is the law of unintended consequences with the simple push of a key. I was after a real users review that would help me as a novice with a grasp of the real world application of CC Cleaner. (& the File size changed).ĭon't rely on what is said at, or My test.ĭo your own Tests. There's a lot of Controversy about IF CCleaner 'does or Doesn't' wipe theĬontent, So here's a link & see what you read the content of my Index.dat files 'Before & After' Running CCleaner.Ĭontained Data 'Before'. So if you'reįreaky about Privacy, Get Downloading this App & Wipe 'em. You cannot CACLS or XCACLS them to be Unwritable. You cannot stop Index.dat files from being generated. You will see all the Index.dat filesĪre still there.?. You will note that (dependent on your browser) Index.dat files is listed in the options. If you config CCleaner to JUST clear your Browser Under The Windows tab, & then uncheck everything else as well as everything under the Application tab. There ARE some Fancy App's which will Display ALL the Index.dat files. But in the Main you will need an App to get them off your System. You can delete them, IF you know where they are lol. They track Everywhere you go on the Web, & some of these Index filesĪre stashed away in Super Hidden Folders on your System. Index.dat files are Generated Every time you Surf.

Is what I'm talking About.!!ĭependant On your System, But mainly the Browser you are Using. The Techy's will know what I'm saying, but Anyone who is reading this & & give it the Big 'I couldn't give a Toss'. I've Monkeyed around 'On & Off', with this App for the Last Week.
