The short answer is try CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ This will clear
the index.dat as well as many other features.
It sounds however, that you may have other underlying issues. Be sure to
update your Antivirus and do a complete system scan in Safe Mode. Also,
download the following (free) Anti Spyware/Adware/Hackware programs. Keep
them updated and use regularly.
