Is there any software to clear the history, cache and cookies in the IE?

Answer 1

The answers below are correct, however, if you want to remove these items in a way that they can never be recovered, you need a clean and shred program. I use McAfee QuickClean with McAfee Shredder. Easy to use and not expensive.

Answer 2

On internet explorer page go to TOOLS, INTERNET OPTION, DELETE COOKIES. A pop up will want ot confirm it, hit OKAY. Then Click on the DELETE FILES button and check the box DELETE OFFLINE FILES, this will delete all temp files from internet explorer. You can then go to the CLEAR HISTORY button and change how many days to keep it from 20 down to 1 day if you like. This way it will clear the history on your intervals. Hope this helps.
