[In some cases users may want to keep the spyware on their machine but be aware that their actions are being monitored].

Cookie Tosser(tm) Cookie Tosser is more than just a cookie removal method, it is an entire cookie management solution. Use Cookie Tosser to delete cookies, view cookie details, and hide or exclude cookies from accidental deletion.

Web Cache Files Remover(tm) Locate and remove all the cache files stored by browsers. Summary results, including the amount of disk space used by cache files, are displayed in the main search window.

Internet History Files(tm) Locate and remove all the history files created by browsers. Quickly view the amount of disk space used by these history files in the main search window of Internet Cleanup.
