Yes, no matter waht you do, if someone goes through your computer, they can see what you werew doing, only 2 ways to make sure they cant see what you were at, taking a drill to your hard drive and second, buying a program that deletes everything on your hard drive about 100 times. If you mean from another computer, someone can see what your doing if they have the right programs, they can watch your IP address and see everything you do.

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: There are several places your browsing history can be kept. The easiest to deal with is your browser history and cookies. Those can be cleaned by going to Tools->Internet Options.
Your ISP may also be keeping track of what pages are being requested through it. It also keeps track of your IPs and what time you had a given IP.
If you are on a LAN the gateway (like at most businesses) may also be keeping track of requests and can track them back to your computer.
AT&T is also suspected of keeping huge logs of all the traffic that goes through their routers (see www.eff.org/ATT/).
Finally most sites keep a log of requests and what IP they went to.
You do not have access to, nor control over any of these last four.

Some sites put 'tracking cookies' on your puter. Programs such as Ad-Aware etc. detect and remove them. Doing a Disk Cleanup usually removes some or most of them.
