Microsoft = Big Brother

I am shocked at the number of people who don't even know how to really delete a file from Windoze (XP or otherwise).
One thing - NEVER use IE: it is full of holes even with SP2! Use Opera or Firefox. Use AVG Pro AND Spybot S&D and spyware blaster (maybe add Ad-Aware too)  then;
Learn to work with the registry! and your fairly safe.
You all do use good firewalls, right?

@Mr a500;

I read the entire post. If you disagree, fine, but I still stand behind what I said.
IF you know how to set up Windows XP SP2, it works quite well!     {Sensless overhead? Wouldn't be microsoft if it didn't)
Macs are indeed some what better (Now that they're intel CPUed, I'm not as sure) BUT they cost too damn much!

It's a feature, as explained in the first link I gave. http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2006/08/04/WinInet_Index_dat.aspx and related posts have details on how index.dat is changing in IE7. E.g:

Well the first thing is that IE made the interface for clearing up these files much simpler with “Cover My Tracks”.

Do NOT attribute quotes to me that I didn't make.
