History
Sam asked:

I want to delete all files related to internet history on my computer. I understand that when you select clear history in the internet browser, those history files are still recoverable to those who really want to see them. Could you recomend a program that I can buy/download that will effectively clear all internet history so that it is not recoverable? I need to do this without deleting everything else on the hard drive (so a hard drive nuke will not suffice)

It is my understanding that anything is recoverable to those in the know. You should probably just quit visiting sites that you don’t want people to know about.

Depending on what internet browser you have there are different techniques.

For internet explorer(PC) go to tools: internet options: browsing history: Delete

For firefox(PC) simply press ctrl+shift+del, check all the boxes, and select clear private data now.

Bear in mind these are for the latest versions so for older versions or a different web browser send me an email at

Uh, download CCleaner and delete all your temp files and history. They can’t recover the history effectively with some lame shareware proggie. The only way is for the FBI to come for you. Look for a file shedder on google and shred everyhting inside the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\(PUT USERNAME HERE)\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files and everyhting in C:\Documents and Settings\(USERNAME HERE)\Local Settings\History

long story short, everything is saved. hence why old computers tend to bug down. just do the basic, Tools>Clear Private Data, and select all that you want to delete.
there’s all-ways a way to recover crap. life just ***** don’t it?
if all else fails, re-download mozzilla or, E-explorer, or whatever your current browser is and delete your old one. then the only way to recover the old files is if you can really know the way around a computer, like mwa, and search the hard drive for a few pointless hours.

**EDIT**
CCleaner works, but it just sums everything up. it does the same thing as what i explained to do but all at once.
