| 80127 | 2002-09-17 10:52:00 | As far as I know it is suitable for IE6. After it has done the scan, do you see a big list of web address urls reported? If you do and Spider tells you it has deleted them then it would be working. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 80128 | 2002-09-17 11:05:00 | Sorry, I should have said: If you do and Spider is able to delete them with the Cleanup command then it would be working. |

| 80129 | 2002-09-17 11:20:00 | Susan B ,thank you very much, it work! | chinadoll (682) | ||
| 80130 | 2002-09-17 11:22:00 | I have IE6 and the spider reports all my IE history index.dat files as IE5 still. There is a blurb on the program designers website about IE6: "I discovered a privacy 'bug/feature' in Internet Explorer3/4/5 (for important informatio about IE6, see history)" Under history is: "9 September 2001 - Erick van Zijl noted that the bug seems to have been removed from the beta of IE6, and possibly even IE5.5 (unconfirmed). " ??not sure what that means though! |

| 80131 | 2002-09-17 11:35:00 | By the way Susan, what does the Spider Bite do ? When I double click it , spider window came up with a error message : Spider Bite can not remove the hidden URL. I am just curious! Thank you (_)(_) |

| 80132 | 2002-09-17 11:37:00 | Glad to hear it worked Chinadoll. Jen: yes I wonder about the "bug being fixed" and my guess is that maybe clean install versions of IE6 are fixed. By that, I mean the likes of clean-installed Win XP, etc, rather than upgrades of IE6 over 5.5, previously 5.0, previously 4.0 etc etc. if you know what I mean. Anyway, who knows? If Spider is able to report all that stuff and then delete it then I'd certainly want to use it whatever version of IE it is. :-) |

| 80133 | 2002-09-17 11:40:00 | I'm not entirely sure what Spider Bite does. It's definitely part of the program and I suspect that it does the deleting of the files, as mentioned after Spider has done this when it says "The spider has bitten". | Susan B (19) | ||
| 80134 | 2002-09-19 08:35:00 | I've been following your previous posts on spider with interest, and downloaded and ran it. After the spider has bitten and I reboot I go back to my temp internet files, and find even though the floder looks empty (not even a visible IE5.dat), that when I press on properties there is still a 198mb in the folder. I have run it 5 times and this still happens, my os is win me. I just wonder if the dat files still remain in system restore. I am loathe to disable and clear them, in case Spider itself causes a problem. Be interested to hear what you think. | Bill P (1660) | ||
| 80135 | 2002-09-19 10:51:00 | That's very interesting Bill, I've never heard of that before. Having 198MB in your temp internet folder is quite a lot of wasted space but I don't know if it's related to your system restore or not. I've never heard of Spider causing any problems before (apart from deleting cookies and history when it wasn't supposed to) but if you are loathe to disable system restore to try and clear them then it's best not to. Have you tried deleting the index.dat from "DOS"? The instructions are in the FAQ. That may or may not work. |
