Removing web sites from hard drive?

Is there such a program to remove web site listings that were viewed from a hard drive?
I do manual cleaning on my computer, but find that there are some web sites that will not remove. I use a program called "Traces Viewer" and after I do a manual clean up there are always a few sites that will not remove unless I go into internet properties and then delete files (even doing this does not assure that the listings are erased or scrambled from the hard drive).

Also, there is an index.dat file in your temporary internet files that will hold all the data if someone is interested.
The only way is to use a cleaner, as suggested above [be careful with these - wrong settings will destroy your user settings], or boot into DOS or repair mode, and delete the files manually
