Skill Level (1-10) : 2
Required Tools: Ccleaner from Piriform

WARNING: If you typically don't remember your passwords for websites this application may NOT work well for you. It will remove the cookies most websites use to store your password information. So make sure you have remembered or noted any website passwords you use frequently. 

Download Ccleaner and install it. I provided the link above that is free from any toolbar installs. All the default options in the installer should work fine for most users. Once installed run the application from the desktop icon it creates. It should look like a red C. The following pictures show the options that I recommend for most users. Clicking on the pictures will get you a full sized image.

After choosing these options choose "Analyze" then look over the files it wants to remove and then "Run Cleaner".  You maybe surprised by the amount of junk files your browsers may collect. I would recommend running this at least once a month, A lot spyware and other malware can hide in your Internet cache and temporary folders.

Well good luck and happy browsing.
