There was talk at a place where I worked that there are index.dat analysis tools that let someone determine the pages you have visited. It was also said that the index.dat file that can't be erased.

Any truth to either claim? Is index.dat insecure and open to an invasion of privacy?

Ken--

You have predicted where I am going with this. The short answer: There are tools on the net that let you look at them (Google "index.dat") but they are stored in your user profile so you should not be able to go looking at other peoples. They are difficult to delete but not impossible. I will cover how to delete them soon. Promise. :)
