Answer 1

That's absolutely true, there is something else called Logs......
the only way to erase is take out the hard drive and burn all the evidence.

Answer 2

There is still the browser history that has a record of all sites you have visited. Also, if you typed anything in a search bar, those keywords are stored by your browser. In addition to this, many websites leave cookies on your computer. The website name is pinned to the cookie.

There are also undeleting programs that can recover files, even those deleted from the Recycle Bin.

You shouldn't have been on naughty sites in the first place!

Answer 3

Yes, it's true. You can, however, download or buy programs that will erase all of this. I use a program called CleanCache 3.0 that I downloaded for free from www.spychecker.com. I can set it up to erase what I want and keep things I need from cookies to temporary internet files to typed URL's. I can also set it to erase what I don't want using a government wiping method that is said to completely erase it from the hard drive using 7 different passes over the data. It's very easy to use. Try it or something like it.

Answer 4

You need to go to the Internet options on IE and delete the Temporary internet files, the "cookies", and the History log.

That's everywhere.

Answer 5

I was sent a bcwipe program by my computer friend and if I run it say 3 times there is no way to obtain deleted things on your computer. One time will do it but as a safety was told to run 2 or 3 times anyway. Over writes the deleted stuff I think it does...the friend is a computer nut (is what I tell him) but is also a programmer etc and very much into high security.
Since am blonde I just do what he tells me about that, kat
