You can do it manually with out software.
Just go into your temp files and clean them out.You then go to your internet browser and clear the history, cookies (including offline content).You're done. Oh yeah IE does not always clear everything. Mozilla Firefox clears everything.

Or you can remove all but cookies using Disk Cleanup. Look in Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup. Just don't check the "compress files" selection. Remove the cookies from within IE's Tools area. You can also set IE to clear Temp Folder when browser closes by looking in the Tools/Advanced tab/scroll down to the Security area.

Disk Cleanup is a built in utility. Adding more software to do the job of built in utilities just seems to bloat the sytem, imo.

I recommend doing it manually rather than installing some third party software to do something you can do on your own.
