I've rented an apartment here on holiday in Tashkent. The landlord has set up a basic Windows PC for me with modem Internet access. When I leave I want to clean up the PC (remove temp files, cookies, Web files, etc). Is there a freeware utility that I can download to do this? It needs to be small in size as i've only got a modem!

Will probably do the trick.

Personally I've never had any probs like this but better safe than sorry.
CCleaner also has regular updates which is another good thing about it.
Thanks, guys. I've downloaded it and will run it before I vacate the apartment.
ad-aware is also great :)
Create a brand new user account, then when you are ready to leave, log in as an admin and delete the profile from the disk.
That's how I would do it - with a secure deletion tool, after verifying there are no keyloggers, and not use any sensitive login info at all.
