Clear Internet History

What is Internet history?
While you surf the Internet, your browser records every url you have typed in the Address Bar, every search string you have entered in search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, information you have entered on the webpages and more in order to provide a more pleasant computer and surfing experience.

Why you should clear Internet history?
While the storage of Internet history on your PC can speed up webpages loading thereby making web surfing more convenient, it could be a trouble as these history tracks can compromise your privacy. If you share your computer with other people, they could easily see everything you have done while surfing the Internet - what web sites you have visited, what you have been searching, downloading, viewing, etc.

To protect your privacy you should clear history tracks of your Internet surfing.

How to clear Internet history
Getting rid of Internet history is much more difficult than you could think. You may try to clear history manually but as the computer stores Internet history in different locations, it would take much time. Furthermore, some kinds of history tracks can't be deleted manually. So, to clear all history tracks, you should use special clear history software.

You may delete history, delete cache and delete cookies using the 'clear' option provided your browser but it won't be enough to protect your privacy, as history files are stored in different locations and this operation just removes some of history files and, furthermore, even the files that you think were deleted could be recovered until they have been overwritten by other files.
