Suggestions for Cookie removal apps

[trinaz]

Years ago I had a small program named "IClean" I think...that was easy and efficient in cleaning cookies and/or saving cookies that you wanted kept. They have been out of business for awhile now...can someone suggested various "Cookie Cleaners" that would help keep my cookie folders clean and up to date ?

I believe IClean would also regularly delete the Index.dat file ?

Also...Win7 Pro 64bit seems to keep Cookies in multiple different folders ? Is this correct ?

C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
and
C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies

Thanks..TR

I would say CCleaner is what you are looking for. It can clean cookies in all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.) and gives an option to choose which cookies to keep.

+1 for Ccleaner. For even more cleaning, you should add CCleaner Enhancer

CCleaner is installed and seems to be running OK ?

Any ideas ?

ccsetup300.exe (installed and system restarted and used/ran)
CCleanerEnhancer.exe (gives above jpg error attached)

Thanks

Did you install it to the default location?

Very strange. Try re-installing Ccleaner and see what happens.

As this is on an x64 system it may be that the enhancer is looking for ccleaner in program files and not in program files (x86)

You're right. I didn't realise enhancer has been updated.

Download CCEnhancer | The Web Atom

The easy way is to type shell:cookies into the Start/search field and hit Enter. That opens the cookie folder and you can delete whatever you like.

This (and CCleaner) will not take care of tracking cookies. For those you should run SUPERAntiSpyware.com | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!

You don't need anti-spyware to remove tracking cookies.

Firefox:
Tools-->Options-->Privacy
History: select "Use custom settings for history" and adjust as needed
Click "Show Cookies" and remove all or the ones you choose.
Also, click "Clear History" and adjust as needed.

IE: Tools-->Internet Options-->Privacy-->Advanced
Tick "Override automatic cookie handling"

CCleaner Enhancer is not working on x64 right now:

CCEnhancer is not currently working with CCleaner 3.0 on x64 systems. Fixing now.

If you use IE, try No More Cookies

Also, lots of Firefox extensions:
