Super risky. Any second opinion on this matter?

Stop going on those sites or stop worrying about it?

Or try using this:

This does work and is easy to use.

Hell, there's no point preaching to the unconverted - Mac's are only for those who are ready of their own accord.

for cleanup of cookies and such you can r-click start and go to your profile>Local Settings> Temp > and Temporary Internet

you can delete everything inside these folders.

*as a side note, if you cannot see anything under locale settings go to Tools> Folder Options> View and scroll down to show hidden files, check it and apply. Then you should see everything light up in the explorer bar. That or go to your favorite download site and look for a program from Steven gould called File Cleaner. That will "flush" all history and temp files with the press of one button.

Do you have to run File Cleaner, or does it run automatically? The docs on the site lead me to think that you have to run it.

You do have to run it, although as with any windows program you can set it up to run from a key command sequence e.g. Ctrl+Alt+C for a quick run

So far, then, I still lean towards TweakUI from MS's PowerTools. Completely automated every time you exit IE. No manual intervention required. And completely free.
