it takes more than just clearing history
which is what most people think is the solution
do the following and you will have no worries

click clear history
change the days to keep history to 0
click delete files
now click the content tab
click auto complete
click clear forms
then where it says use autocomplete for uncheck all the things you dont want your browser to store.
that way you wont have to keep going back and clearing things out. good luck
