what is that index.dat file
in my cookies folder i can delete everything but the index.dat file.
it shows up in my temperay internet folder too. does anyone know the use for this. friends of mine think it is some kind of virus attachment that got on there p.c. they got strange mail from other friends address books, and then they seen this file in there folder, i think the one in mine has been there since i can remember. i would like it gone if is of no use.
thanks Rick

quit looking at porn and you wont have to worry about deleting everything.there is a good program called window washer that will clean up your temporary files and such think i found it at snakesworld.com
