On your web browser (internet explorer, anyway) at the top of the page you will see the word Tools. Click on that. Then click Internet Options from the menu that drops down. Right in the middle you will see Delete Cookies. While you are in there, next to it you will see delete temporary internet files. You should delete those too. These are all the files for every site you ever visited, and there are probably half a million clogging up your system, so get rid of those regularly...read on. (it will take a minute or two, depending on when you last (never?) did this)
While you are at it, go to the bottom and change the number of days to keep files in memory to 2.
Now go to the Advanced tab and go all the way down to Security. Put a check in the box that says something like Delete all temporary files folder when browser is closed. CLICK APPLY! Then all those junk files will disappear everytime you shut your browser down or reboot or whatever.

Edit: You can also get to cookies from C:\Documents and Settings"inputusernamehere"
Cookies will be in a folder it's not a hidden folder so don't worry about that. Double click on it and delete everything inside there. And as for history and temporary internet files it's not as bad as you might think. But I agree occassional cleanouts are good.

How can you take out the cookie virus?
A cookie is not a virus. A cookie is just a file, usually text, that browsers use to store information on your computer. A good use for cookies is staying logged into sites. Once you enter your password, the site creates a cookie on your computer.All you have to do to get rid of unwanted cookies is to find them and physically delete them. In IE, you can simply open the folder that contains them and delete them. In other browsers, you can find the cookies through the settings and delete the ones you don't want. Or, if you prefer, you could get a program like Ccleaner to remove them for you. Also, any spyware removal program will remove the more malicious cookies. What makes them malicious is not their contents, but how they are being used by websites.

How you can delete all your cookies from Internet Explorer?
In internet explorer, hit "Tools" then "Internet Options." Internet Explorer 6 and older: Hit "Delete cookies..." and confirm the deletion by pressing "Yes." Internet Explorer 7 and higher: Hit "Delete..." then hit "Delete cookies..." and confirm by pressing "Yes." (You may not need to confirm.) You may also search for the directory in which your cookie files are placed in, and manually manipulate, create, and delete cookies there; a good way to find your cookie folder is to use your file management software (such as Windows Explorer) and search for a directory similar to "cookies." You should not need any professional software to delete cookies if you are using a normal version of Windows (Or Mac) and Internet Explorer; at that, professional software probably wouldn't work otherwise.
