I'm going crazy trying to keep my computer free of any problems! I do everything I could possibly think of... virus protection, adware protection, etc. When I see problems with CCleaner, it worries the crap out of me. I've done plenty of virus scans (with avast home) and found nothing. The problem is,

When I click "analyze" on the cleaner, it shows nothing (after just doing a cleaning, so thats good.) Then I'll click "run cleaner" for the second time, and it keeps saying "IE Temporary Internet Files (1 files)."

Why does it do this?? I have EVERYTHING closed; tried doing this after reboots, after virus scans-based on reboots. I hope the problem is something simple. Could anyone please help me out?

EDIT - Just wanted to add I've done registry cleaning several times as well and it doesn't help the problem (registry shows 0 problems after cleaning.)

Have you got the box for "Only delete temp files older than 48 hours" ticked in Options>Advanced?

Also try options>advanced, and tick the box for show detailed log and Internet Explorer temp files.

Checking the "show detailed log" box worked. Thx tons guys. I certainly feel much more certain with my comp now

The one file CC was finding might be the index.dat which will be deleted on reboot but will be recreated again by windows.

Under Internet Explorer if you untick then retick - Delete Index.dat files - the below pop up shows.

I'm going crazy...

You're going crazy? That's nothing, just imagine how infuriating it is to find this stuff in the hardware forum! Please, tin is hard, CC is software.........
