What is index.dat file?
Internet history is more than just a list of visited web sites. Computer stores multiple records of your Internet history that can't be easily deleted. There are three index.dat files used by Internet Explorer - history index.dat file, cookies index.dat file, cache index.dat file. Index.dat files are used by Internet Explorer to store Internet history, cache, cookies and other information about your Internet activity.
Although index.dat files are useful, they can compromise your privacy as any person who has some knowledge about index.dat files and has access to your computer can see the history of your Internet activities. Index.dat files are system files and they can't be deleted manually as they are used by Windows all the time (index.dat files are locked by Windows). Their content is not deleted even if you clean browser history, cache and cookies. So to clean index.dat file content you need special software.
Using Clear All History you can easily clean the content of index.dat file, cookies index.dat file, cache index.dat file. ClearAlHIstory doesn't have any special feature for cleaning index.dat files content - all clean options for Internet Explorer ("clean browser history", "clean cache", "clean cookies") are combined with cleaning of the corresponding index.dat file. Using Clear All History scheduler you can set the program to clean index.dat files content automatically on program start/exit.
