BleepingComputer.com: Erasing Cache ?

Can someone please tell me how do I completely erase my cache ?? I visited a couple of .... adult content sites and now it's wrecking my home !! My gets on me every time !!!! Thanks.

Simply erasing the cache is not going to fix your problem!
You may now be infected with a virus, malware or more

Please post exactly what is occuring
More info is needed

Thx

Do not go to adult sites. I know this may bother some of you, but the fact is that a large amount of malware is pushed through these types of sites. I am not saying all adult sites do this, but a lot do.
