You can manually clear your cache or most browsers will give you a setting option to not save history information.

It's your choice how much information you keep on your system.

Which will get you precisely nowhere as all of the information is still stored ..you have merely repointed the shortcut ( known as the history button on your gui) to another sector of the disc ..

The actual information is still there ( and thats not including what is sitting in your swap files ) just you told the button to "forget" where it put it ..

Such programs as advertise themselves as "internet tracks removers" etc ..whatever their names are will also leave so much stuff around that you would not need even the most basic forensics to find the traces ..

This applies to all the major browsers on 'doze ..

IE is the worst ( easiest to get at what it knows ..and it's in more than one place ) ..windows of any flavour keeps user information and data all over the place ..most users don't even get to see the files 'cos all 'doze ships with hide certain sys files switched on by default ..and hides file extensions ..

And unless you have the right stuff installed ..even when you find theses files you cannot see inside them from a running 'doze 'cos it returns " the file is inaccessible because it is being used by the system "

oh yeah and there's "cluster tips" ..the little bits in a file system that dont get rewritten by the next file som they keep the last remnants of the previous on in just a few bytes ..

hmmm..how bout something like this from mcafee :

( Brett ...you could always unlink these before the easily impressionable get to thinking these things work cos they were listed here? )

..and as for macafee being anything other than hype and a nice landing page and box ...

RAOTFALOL ..

( if I didn't have to keep going back into boxes that were running this junk and removing all the nasties ..and finding all the PRON sites that the owner thought they had erased from the BOX )..

Number of times I've heard " get rid of it before the wife or GF or ..occasionally BF sees it" ..followed by "but I only went there because" ... and and "afterwards I downloaded" ( choose your crap.. app ..usually from the sort of links above et al )..

And sometimes I just say I removed "it "and then talk to the people who are there to protect our kids..

So ..any programmer .or hacker :) will tell you ( less 'n' they are trying to sell you something ..like a "crap app ")..

You leave tracks!..

and thats not even going near the issues of what your ISP keeps about you ..

The only HD that doesnt tell tales is a burned and crushed HD ..

well almost ..but we arent going to do a how to here cos this is one place where I do respect the TOS..sail close to the edges sometimes ..;)) but do respect it ..heaven judges one on how one is to cats on earth ..even for us atheists ..;))
