PurgeIE is a program for removing your surfing tracks from your computer. Internet Explorer keeps a lot of information that can reveal your surfing habits. This includes a history of each site you have visited in addition to a copy of each of the Webpages.
PurgeIE optionally displays a list of the items it deletes and provides a 'Preview' function to let you determine the items that would be deleted by the 'Purge' function.
PurgeIE frees up wasted space on your HardDrive. PurgeIE functions without requiring you to restart your computer.
PurgeIE was initially released in February, 1999, and has become the utility that newer software products try to imitate. PurgeIE now has registered users in over 55 countries.

Recent Changes - for PurgeIE, PurgeIE Pro and PurgeFox
VISTA support has been implemented. The new versions process both the Protected Mode folders and the Normal Mode folders for Internet Explorer 8.0 running under VISTA.
Users can now designate Cookies to have their data randomized (jumbled) by the Purge Cookies functions. This should make the designated Cookies meaningless to their creator.
Users can now change the display Fonts for the primary Windows. You get to decide how the listings look.
Error messages are now Color coding of in the "Display Results" listings.
An Install ( backup) CD is now available from Assistance & Resources for Computing, Inc. The CD contains copies of the current versions of the downloadable Shareware programs: PurgeIE, PurgeIE Pro, PurgeFox and associated utility programs.
This is for existing customers. This order does not include a license.
The Install CD may be purchased separately for $10.00 + $2.95 S&H via http://www.purgeie.com/cdinfo.htm
Current versions of PurgeIE and PurgeIE Pro can clear the current day's History for IE-5 through IE-9 even if the History file is in use by the other programs or locked by 'Windows Explorer'.

Highlights
A Cookie Viewer function assists you in designating which Cookies to protect and helps you manage Cookies.
Cache files (offline and online), unprotected Cookies, the record of 'Visited URLs', the History Folders, Strays, and Recent Links (Documents) are among the categories you can choose to purge.
PurgeIE can also be used for clearing Internet Explorer Address Bar history. This is I.E.'s Typed URL Address dropdown list.
PurgeIE clears the entries inside the 'Index.dat' files. PurgeIE does not shrink, delete or remove 'Index.dat' files. These operations could only be done using DOS mode while Windows is closed. Competing products that remove 'Index.dat' files require you to reboot (restart) your system to complete a cleanup.
PurgeIE cleans the 'Index.dat' files by using approved Microsoft program functions to remove the entries from the 'Index.dat' files. These API functions reset the URL information to blanks within the 'Index.dat' files which, effectively, eliminates the information that is of greatest concern to privacy advocates.
PurgeIE contains an Emergency function for deleting 'Index.dat' files should the need arise. This does require a reboot. This has been documented on a separate Webpage - www.purgeie.com/cachefix.htm
Note - some newspapers and magazines refer to PurgeIE as "Purge IE".
An explanation for 'Index.dat' files and the structure for the primary Internet Explorer folders is available via the following link

Trial Period
Both PurgeIE and PurgeIE Pro are marketed as Shareware. This means that you are free to try the programs prior to registration. You are allowed to test this software for fifteen (15) days in its Fully-functional mode. These days need not be contiguous. Once the Trial Period expires, the program can still execute in Preview mode for evaluation purposes. In Preview mode no actual deletes are performed. The program must then be registered to regain its Fully-functional mode.
The non-contiguous evaluation period avoids the scenario in which one downloads a program, studies it briefly, has to put it aside for other pressing matters, tries to evaluate it after several weeks and finds that it does not function after some fixed time. Actually, one could use the program weekly for 15 weeks before registering it.
Site Licenses or Multiple-use Licenses for businesses are also available upon request via the vendor. An additional 25% discount is available for Site Licenses for educational institutions, public libraries and government facilities.
