Cache & Cookie Washer for Netscape is a very useful program
for
cleaning up tracks that you leave behind when using
Netscape.
Many
people do not realize that Netscape stores information about
what they
have done on the Internet and what websites they have
visited. Netscape
even allows web sites to store "cookies," which are files
that may
possibly contain personal information about the user. As a
result,
anyone else can see what you have been doing on the Internet
with
Netscape, which raises several privacy concerns.
Furthermore, much of
your Netscape activity information takes up valuable disk
space, and
recovering this space can be very beneficial. Cleaning up
the history
of your activities from Netscape can be a tedious chore of
manually
removing each history file or entry. Moreover, some files
like the
"Index.dat" file contained in the history folder of Netscape
cannot be
cleaned within Windows. Even if you clean your cache,
cookies, and
history from within the Netscape browser regularly, the
index.dat files
will continue to store information about what web sites you
have
visited and what cookies have been saved. A common problem
is that
these index.dat files can grow to an enormous size, taking
up drive
space and slowing down the Netscape browser. If privacy and
disk space
are to be maintained, cleaning these tracks must be done
every time you
are finished using Netscape. Cache & Cookie Washer automates
this
process for you It will automatically run in the background
and clean
up whatever tracks you want removed, whenever you want.
