Important notes:
Internet Explorer v. 4 or higher required:
·
Microsoft® Internet Explorer v. 4 or higher is required for the Internet Cleaner module (you will get an error message if you try to start Internet Cleaner without IE 4 or higher installed). This is because many of the Internet functions of Windows® are closely integrated with Internet Explorer and Internet Cleaner needs to access program modules of IE4 or higher to do its work.

The Netscape®, Opera® and Mozilla browsers use proprietary database structures to store their cookies, cache, history and other temporary Internet data. It is not currently possible to display detailed listings of the individual items in these databases - you can only choose to delete all their contents together.
