Question: I would like to know how I can “hide my tracks” and clear out the part of my computer that keeps track of what websites I’ve visited. I know it’s possible, I just don’t know how to go about doing it. Can you help me out?

Answer: Of course. You’ll be happy to hear that it’s quite an easy process. I’m not quite sure what browser you’re using, though, so I’ll run through the steps involved for the latest versions of both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

If you’re using Internet Explorer 7, look up at the top of your screen and click on “Tools,” then “Delete Browsing History.” You now have the option to either delete your entire history (by choosing Delete All) or select the specific data you wish to clear out.

If you’re running Firefox 2, all you need to do is hit Ctrl + Shift + Del and check the boxes of the types of data you’d like clear from your system.
