Answer 1

Hi

Your Website history is logged in your Autocomplete history. You can easily delete it. However, depending on your choice web browser the directions may be different. Also you have to clear your download history. If you are concern about your privacy you may want to get a internet privacy software.
Hope this helps!

You're best off making it so it doesn't log those at all.
In Firefox, click on tools, go to Options, then the Privacy tab. Uncheck the box that says "remember sites I've visited over the last bla bla bla days".

It will no longer log what sites you visit.

Answer 4

Use Opera webrowser, dont' use IE, its pretty use less when it comes to guard privacy.If you wanna to keep your parents away from suspicion,IE is not the right thing to use.
In Opera, when clearing History, click Tools>Histroy(Ctrl+Alt+h) click on the folder Today, after surfing, Right-Click on the webpage you visited and then click delete this will keep others from knowing what webpage you visited.
Thanks,
