I need to view some Index.Dat files. Sadly everytime I find a free viewer it either comes with malware or unclear instructions so I can't get it to work. Can anyone post the link to a quality free viewer with instructions?
Are these index.dat files associated with Internet Explorer?
If so, which version of IE is creating the dat files?

IE10 uses WebcacheV01.dat vs index.dat files. How to clear/delete?
Welcome to Seven Forums MouseFollower, have a look here, used this in the past. The installer comes up clean.

Yes, it is to view Internet Explorer files.
I think it is the latest IE
Maybe that is the reason why none of the Index.Dat viewers work, because it is creating no Index.Dat files.
I tried the Viewers you listed, none of them worked. I think it is because of UsernamesIssues's idea that it is not Index.Dat files. I will try the WebcacheV01.dat
Ahhh, yes, they switched things up in IE10, perhaps some help in the thread UsernamesIssues linked.
This says it works for IE10, trusted source

It's not just clear text though.
