Clearing your browser history etc

I have to be careful using our computer. My little brother also uses it. Mum and Dad also surf the net but not very often. I always make sure that my history is deleted!

 

Im a Pro at Deleting my Files Even Tho No One Can Access my Files With Out Being Log on to my Account Directly Which has a Pass.

hehe Im a Comp geek AKA nerd and everyone else 2 to Cpu slow to look thru my files

 

Um...all i saw was a quote...and some links that you download stuff...
I know there is an easy way to clear it but i forgot.
its like ctrl + [ something here ]

 

Lol, it's funny you brought this subject up. I'm deleting the browsing history and google tab at least five times a day now.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is very helpful to be able to do this now that I have a summer houseguest staying with me.

 

I have Windows Vista (yes, it's terrible) but I've found it to be easier to delete the browsing history than XP. With XP you have to go to "tools" and go to browsing history and delete each catagory given one by one. Yes, everything has to be deleted, because each can potentially show what you've been doing. With Windows Vista, you go to "tools" like you do in XP but there is an option for "Delete Browsing History" which gets rid of everything, trust me I've checked. Also, the google tab (if you have one) needs to be deleted. You do that by clicking the down button to the right of it and clicking "clear history."

You also want to make sure you check the recycling bin if you've been deleting any documents containing topics on your homosexuallity. My mom checks that too, but she thinks she's looking for porn, not evidence that her son is gay!

Another thing to be careful of is what type of internet browser you use. If your parents subscribe to MSN or AOL (or did, I think it's out of business now) or something like Netzero, they could potentially get e-mails on your internet activity. By simply using Internet Expoler instead of MSN, AOL, or something like Netzero you can get around these e-mails because the service providers can't view your internet activity.

 

Use the Free Internet Window Washer (www.eusing.com) It is wonderful. It really clears everything.

 

i always get rid of the history to because my 2 brothers use the computer and even mum and dad do also

 

Another bit of advice. When you register at gay web sites or enter contests, you may get added to a newsletter distribution list. That means you could get unsolicited ads, info about gay events, etc. via email. Be cautious about turning on your out-of-office assistant which can forward your mail to co-workers while you're on vacation. In one case, I thought I was writing to a very trusted friend at work. She was sick and her co-worker responded to my mail. That could be disaster in the hands of the wrong people :eusa_doh:

 

i agree that was really useful!

 

I made a topic about this that involves places you'll never know about. (but people that want to know would)

Right Here.

 

on mozilla all you have to do is go to options>clear Private Data
You can set it to where it does it automatically

 

My method is a bit simpler... since I know that nobody cares to look through deep in my files, I just use Internet Explorer (or Safari/Avant/Opera sometimes) for 'private' stuff and Firefox for all the rest. Worked fine for me so far . And no need to waste time deleting history all the time... but it only works if you don't have... curious people in your family

 

But I also heard from a friend that you could easily call your Internet Provider and ask for your Internet history.

Is this true?

 

I always delete my internet history, but I didn't realise there was anything other than the browser history.
