Index.dat Scanner is a small application built with a single goal in mind: to help users scan the computer for Index.dat files. This way, they can verify if the browser records stored in these files have been actually deleted by previously used privacy-oriented tools.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to scan your computers for Index.dat files on the breeze.

Index.dat Scanner sports a clean and simple interface that allows users to scan the computer or only the specified files.

The scanning process doesn’t take too much time and you can view the total number of records found at the end of the task. The application keeps a log with details about possible errors, and you can save it to a file.

As it would be expected from such a small tool, it doesn’t eat up CPU and memory, so it doesn’t affect the overall performance of the PC, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

The lack of dedicated parameters could be good news only for the less experienced users that don’t have to spend a lot of time configuring them or reading a help manual.

All things considered, Index.dat Scanner is a simple software solution that helps you check the existence of Index.dat files in the computer, so it doesn’t come packed with cleaning capabilities or advanced functions.
