    1) Index.dat File is central place where hacker can obtain personal data from PC. This file is active database which is active when user logs in windows. This file useful for information that is unneeded like Web URL search data and more with open file that is opened.

    3) Browser history is another place which needs to be clean so that remove chances of infected by virus as history records web detail and hacker utilizes this to attack. This informs hackers about browsing habits of yours. So clear history on specific interval regularly.
