Hiding computer use

[grizzledvet]

I am in need of deleting the evidence of my visits to various sites. The drop down box beside address, holds on to some but not all sites visited. I don't need to get rid of all places but just some. Is this possible and if so what steps should I take?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

popup killers are good for screening out crap that otherwise might show up on your hard drive...

Get Window Washer

Go to http://www.download.com (powered by CNET) and search for Window Washer. It's published by Webroot. Window Washer not only deletes history, cookies, and temporary internet files but also over-writes them with random patterns so that your hard drive can't be scanned with undelete software. It's well worth the price if you have SO or guests who use your PC.

Thank you for your help, with this remove the drop down window that holds some websites ? When you click on the arrow at the end of the web address it shows all the most recent places you have been. Dastardly thing.

Thanks again.

Yes it will, see download.com or the direct link I posted above.

An interesting thread - if you have a PC. What about folks with MACs? How do we clean up our hard-drives?

Enqiring minds need to know!

Advice about MACs

Thank you Crazy Canuck.

Your advice has been heeded!

Especially for the response to the idjit who's still buggering about PCs - complicated devices, and not intuitive, and not stable, and prone to crashing.
