I have been using CCleaner for a while.
I discovered that after running CCleaner there is informatio left behind, all the Cache is not cleaned.
How did I find out? I run another tool after running CCleaner (called Index.dat Analyzer) and it shows that Cache is still full.
Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
It would be better if the option is there without rebooting for those who leave their computers on for days.
Another prob is index.dat file are not necessary well cleaned either.

since it's a system file and cannot be deleted while in windows since it's being used at that time.

It still, ,there are tools which achieved the cleaning of index.dat content without erasing the file while windows is running.
CCleaner DO NOT ACHIEVE THIS.
I believe CCleaner is a good product but still lacking a hollistic approach to REALLY CLEAN all the traces of browsing. It takes other tools to complete the job.
Thanks

Windows protects various system files to various degrees.
Using CACLS I can take ownership of almost anything which is otherwise "Access Denied",
but when stealing what Windows owns is not a safe life style.
I suspect you are desiring the results achieved by other tools that throw caution to the wind.
