Internet Explorer: Expired Cookie Remover

internet explorer 8Internet Explorer handles cookies differently than other web browsers. It stores cookies on the local hard drive and leaves traces behind even if cookies have already expired. The usual reaction to expired cookies should be to remove them as they are not of use anymore. Cookies might be stored on a computer system even if Internet Explorer is not used at all as other programs make use of Internet Explorer’s engine to display web contents.

Expired Cookies Cleaner is a free portable application for the Windows operating system that can remove the traces of expired cookies effectively. It will automatically scan the computer system and delete expired cookies from it. The software will also optimize the files that store cookies on the system. These files usually contain expired and valid cookies. The expired cookie remover will delete the expired cookies and optimize the storage space of the remaining cookies.

The software will list every expired cookie that it found in a list. It will furthermore display statistics about the amounts of the files and cookies that were found on the computer system, the number of cookies that have been removed, the number of optimized files plus the time it took to complete the process.

    I really don’t understand the extra from this program? Is a program like CCleaner not doing the job properly? After i, from the desktop, started the program it found not one cookie to clean? Maybay i doing something wrong? Do i have to install in a special place and run it from there?
