After clearing History, Cookies and Temporary Internet Files with Internet Explorer, are there ways of finding out which sites have been visited? How?
Is there a way to COMPLETELY erase all sites visited on a computer?

No, they're going to find out... you're screwed.

Your first answerer is right. The only way to be 100% sure is to dump/trash/etc the hard disk. But of course, that only gets rid of what's on your own computer. When you've been online you've left traces back through memory systems that you can't access, so others can back-track from there all the way to you. Complicated and rather scary-sounding, but they can do it if there is a good enough reason.
I hope for your sake that you haven't been doing anything the FBI wants to follow up on...
Or the SEC...
Just kidding! I'm sure you're only worried about someone in your family snooping on your comp, right? In that case, doing what you've done will probably be okay, providing you don't have a computer hotshot around.

yes to all your questions. while i don't remember the details. but i use cache cleaner 3 downloaded it from www.majorgeeks.com and it gets most. but someone really good could very likely still find history. but it will be a lot harder. also check ww.komando.com for more info
