You sir, win the prize! The index.dat file has what "They" are looking for and cannot be cleaned.(to my knowledge)All programs I have tried DO NOT clean the Index.dat files. I used to use a program called Spider to clean it, but it won't work on IE6. Maybe someday I will learn Linux. Does anybody know if Opera has this "FEATURE"?

Open notepad, then open the C:\Windows\Cookies\Index.dat file from Notepad. Edit/Select All, then delete. Save as, change save as file type to all files, select index.dat and click ok.
