*rufus* Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Every day, my temporary internet folder shows 6,000 to 8,000 cookies and places i have been. It seems almost every keystroke is recorded. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? I just cleaned my temp file and went to piriform. I have 220 temp files. See attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted February 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2013 You need to give a bit more info such as your operating system, which browser you use most, security software and any other issues you have noticed. Are all your security programs up to date and scans clean? Are you seeing these entries in ccleaner ?

Moderators Nergal Posted February 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) what do you expect to find in the cookies and temp files. Yes it is usual that every website you go to will leave many temp files and usually at least one cookie. or do you mean you are find cookies and files for non-online computer use (i.e going into your Microsoft word, or playing minesweeper) Edited February 1, 2013 by Nergal ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Alan_B Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Where are the moderators when we need one to move a Temporary Internet Folder topic from Hardware to the Software forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted February 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yes, I get this too. from a clean base, if I refresh the new contents page I get 14 temp int files, and if I refresh this thread I get another 47 temp int files. So what, one might say, but a look at a few threads soon brings the total up into the hundreds or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Apart for the number of files, have you noticed any werid behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not really. I've just upgraded to W8, so I can't give any definitive figures. Originally I used to run CC every four or five days, knocking off about 50 mb of junk. Gradually that crept upwards and in the last days of XP I was running CC just about every day, clearing about 100 mb. I probably look at rather more than I used to, but the amount of temp int files does seem excessive. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it. Well, I don't, actually.
