Index.dat files

[KC]

Can someone please tell me a safe site where I can get a index.dat file viewer,and a file shredder. I'm selling a puter and I would prefer the drive to be wiped clean.

Please keep answer simple, I'm a puter novice

thanks

Probably the least expensive and most efficient way would be to format the hard drive and then reinstall your OS. Unless it's something for like the government or whatever and needs to not be found, doing that is good enough. Secondly, having a fresh install can get rid of crap piling up in the OS and slowing it down. With Windows, a reinstall every so often clears the air, so to speak.
