CCleaner.

With hit of a button it cleans the IE, Firefox, Tempory Windows files etc. etc.

Great free program.

Not sure, where its affecting both programs - then its probably not the cache... Have you restarted?

When u first start it up you will see two tabs under cleaner settings. One says 'windows' and the other 'applications'. Click on the 'applications' one.

Ya man, if the problem is with AIM, IE, and Firefox, then its something messing with your internet connection, not individual programs.

Run an anti-virus, spyware/adware program, restart, and your problem will be solved.

What sort of connection are you using? I've seen people enter passwords/usernames wrong for DSL lines which causes the same sort of problems.
