Hi,

Recently I read this article about the DNS Cache in Windows:
http://tinyhacker.com/hacks/clear-your-dns...t-your-privacy/

I wonder if CCleaner does remove the items in the DNS Cache?

If not, would it be difficult to implement?

Hi LegoBas

First some objectivity. From the tinyhacker article ... "Did you realize that the DNS cache on your computer is tracking everything you do". The function of the resolver cache is not to 'track activity', it is to make the resolution of domain names (not individual web pages) on your PC quicker by caching website domains you have visited recently. This is a good article to read through ... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318803

As explained in the Microsoft article, you can turn DNS caching off via the Services console if you want to. The article also shows you how to display and clear the entries that you have in your cache at the moment.

Ccleaner doesn't currently clear this; I have said before that I think this would be a reasonable option to include; particularly in comparison to some of the more esoteric suggestions that are made for ccleaner
