• Do you know that your computer tracks everything you are doing while using the computer or surfing the Internet?
Both your browser and Windows keep tracks of your computer and Internet activity. And these history tracks provide a way for others to view what you have been doing, searching, downloading, running, viewing, etc.
• Information about all the sites that you visited is stored on your computer. Even if you delete history, cache and cookies it won't protect your privacy, as there are files that will continue to store information about what web sites you have visited, what videos you have seen, what cookies have been saved, etc.
• Windows temporary directory (Temp folders) stores Windows and other programs temporary files. This directory can become cluttered and contain files from programs you no longer have installed or files which may violate your privacy.
• Windows stores a list of documents and files you have recently opened and worked with. Anyone who has access to your computer can see this list and directly link to any of the items that you've opened.
• Windows stores a list of programs you have run using the Run option in the Start Menu. And anyone who has access to your computer can see the list of programs that you've run.
• Every time you open a program from the Start Menu, the date and number of times you used it is stored in an encrypted database. If you don't wipe this information, it can compromise your privacy and security and increase the number of entries in the registry slowing Windows down.
• Most applications use the Windows-provided dialogs for open/save operations. Every time you open/save a file Windows keeps a record of this activity - Windows records the names of files that you open or save. So, very often when you choose "open" or "save" item from application's file menu, Windows displays a drop-down list of your most recently used files or opens the certain directory. Even if these names are not shown in the file open/save dialog of particular application, they are kept in a Windows registry and can be viewed.
• Some tracks of computer and Internet activity can't be removed manually without special software.
Do you want your boss, co-workers, or kids to see what web sites you have visited, what images and movies you have seen, what files you downloaded, documents and files you have just opened, and many others?
If you don't want someone knows what you've done on your computer, you should clear history tracks from your PC.
