Computer Trouble?

Question

Whenever I search for anything, like in google or yahoo or msn, there is a list that comes up of anything that I have typed anytime in the last 6 months, since I got my new computer. Is there any way to get rid of that because it is annoying because there are things that I search for about 3 months ago with a school project and stuff like that.

Answer 1

In IE go to Tools>Internet Options>Content>Personal Information click the "auto complete" button and deselect the appropriate box or you can hit Clear Forms to keep using the features but empty the old ones out.

You can also go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and deselect "Use Inline Autocomplete"

Answer 2

There are two ways to delete this:

1) Install CCleaner (see below) and run.
2) Go into toolbar options. For Google uncheck “suggest searches from my history” in Yahoo uncheck “enable recent searches”. Then for each browser in options delete the internet history.

It gets worse. When you delete files the pointer to the file is deleted. The file itself is not erased and in most cases can be easily recovered.

To see what files can be recovered run one of the following programs:

Drive Discovery 2.34 (free for 30 days)

Analyze the hard disk to see what files and data can be
recovered, see inside deleted files and view deleted images.
You can choose to either recover the file or overwrite the file to make it not recoverable.

To delete your browsing history permanently you need to overwrite the file data.

Install CCleaner: Do not install toolbar and recycle bin options
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Removes tracking information from all browsers, toolbars, movie players. etc.
In options:
-Set to run when the computer starts
-Choose secure file deletion (if you do not want the files to be able to be recovered)
- Uncheck if needed "only delete Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours"
-Place cookies you want to keep in the save list.

Answer 3

Usually, if you go under Edit -> Preferences or Tools -> Options, there are controls to keep history data for websites visited and textbox entries. set these timers to zero or uncheck the boxes you don't want to use.
