If u take ur computer to a computer store can they see what u have looked at even if u erase the history?

Answer 1

Delete the history, empty the cache and delete the cookies. This takes away all of the easily accessed info.

This is a good practice to follow after any internet session as well. Some old cookies can be used to spy on your computer every time you connect to the internet. IE: Connect to the internet and some previously downloaded cookie could be written to let the sender of that cookie know that you are on line again.

Answer 2

A computer store, or anybody with experience with computers, can see a lot of stuff - they have to have administrative privileges to work on your computer, so they can open your browser, see your bookmarks and what you use for a homepage and so on, and they can find the Temporary Internet Files and see what's been cached, and of course they can rummage through your files everywhere.

If you do a disk cleanup, which includes emptying your browser cache, before taking it to them, and then delete your history and cookies, your internet use will be generally either gone or too hard to recover for them to bother.

Answer 3

If you've been looking at something embarrassing, they don't care. If you've been looking at something illegal, it's an open book. Erasing the stuff that's easily accessed like history and cookies and even deleting files won't cover your tracks. This is why they make cleaning programs.

Answer 4

No we cant open the history which is deleted but if you have erased the files they can look for that files.

Answer 5

actually, if they really care that much, and with somework, there is a chance that they could get the history back. it would take way to much work though and it isnt surefire, so i dont think they'd try.
