I just installed v1.04 and looked ever so carefully at everything on the panel and readme.txt (there's no help file) about deleting index.dat files that are everywhere in XP Pro. No luck.
Can someone please provide a link or instructions on setting SystemSecuritySuite to do this?
thanks in advance.

Don't know about the software but this will delete the index.dat
open a command prompt to the location of the index.dat then, ctrl+alt+del and shutdown explorer. Then, in the command prompt, delete index.dat. Reboot

I have about a dozen index.dat files in various folders. Which ones do I delete - or all of them? What's the path for the one(s) you delete.
The whole point of using SystemSecuritySuite is that it claims to delete them all with a click. XP Pro scatters them all over the place.
madness..:(
