how do I clear address bar of sites visited?

Question

I have already gone to "internet options" and HAVE cleared cookies and history/ sites visited. That works for the drop down of sites visited, but there seams to be a 'super-cookie' that I cant get rid of on certain sites only.... Even after I clear history, if I type a letter (ie."C") into my address bar, it will still display select sites visited... is there a way around this????
