Hi all, Just started noticing that both yahoo search and google search engines have kept a running history of my searches with them. I dont have any idea how to clear those. any suggestions? I dont always want everyone on my computer to know where ive been (im sure most of you can relate) anyway it has never been a problem before but im wondering if anyone knows how to clear that. I tried clearing my history, cookies etc. Im stumped (i know it doesnt take much) but HELP PLEASE!
 
For all explorer entries go to AutoComplete setting in options.

For Google Toolbar "Clear Search History" in the Toolbar.

I use a proggy called 'Window Washer(v5)' by Webroot. It's great- it clears every 'temp' and 'history' file from your Internet files. Leaves absolutely ZERO evidence of where you've been surfing. It clears other useless files too, like unnecessary Windows temp files. You'd be surprised how much HD space you free up by getting rid of all that crap. It is fully customizable to suit your needs.

You can D/L from any p2p either already cracked or w/ a serial included. If you need any more info, PM me...might even be able to email you a copy.
