    Tools (On task bar) --Internet Options-- and about the center of the window that opens you will see it.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    That will remove most, but not always all of them. Remember that you will actually want to keep some cookies...like the one for logging in here for example.

    Go here for the free version of Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

    or the free SuperAntiSpyware:
    http://www.superantispyware.com/

    These will help keep the pesky things under control.:D

    which OS are you using...
    vista
    xp

    in xp
    click to open IE
    then at the top there should be tools
    go to internet options
    on the general tab
    half way down the box
    delete tempory files, cookies,history.and passwords...
    click on this...
    this will bring another box up
    at the bottom
    click on
    delete all...
    or whatever you want to delete if you want to save your passwords then just click on the one's that apply to you then click ok and apply...

    if you have vista you click control panel, then network and internet, then under internet options click delete browsing history and cookies, in the box that appears click delete under browsing history, you can then delete the cookies as well as other stuff on there.
  • I also recommend CCleaner. It's free, does its job and has a good reputation.

    I use ccleaner regularly too.

    It is free. It does what it says on the tin and it doesn't screw up your system.
