Bit of a mundane subject compared to that in the most recent post (Sadie Frost and Kate Moss together! Hmmmm....)

Google searches - how do wipe the recent searches, to prevent other pc users knowing what you have been browsing!

ie not deleting history, if you type a into Google, a little dropdown can appear displaying 'adult' this or that...

click on the search box. You get the drop down menu of what youve been searching for then delete them.

menu on your browser click tools, then internet options, this will open a new window. select content, then click on auto complete and unclick any of the four options, forms or web addresses for what your after. don't forget to clear forms while you're at it. after you've done this, no other info will be stored in the search engine so you can hunt to your hearts content

The only complete way is to use an eraser program like


or you could visit lizards miscellany-computer software tips page
under removal utilities


People could easily come across info via cookies,temporary internet files,history,ie cache etc) and find your tracks if you don't use an decent eraser program

After you have just do a search via find on drive c using 'IE' and see what comes up.Thats the easiest place to find evidence of activity even when you think you've deleted all images/movies etc
