Clearing Browser History - Comments Page 2

Pretty much covers the issues.
However, I can't help but stress the point you mention in passing about computers at work. Actually, it is not just computers at work that keep "logs" of a person's trail. If you are accessing the net through someone's service (an ISP, for example), their servers also keep a log of all accesses (although no one has the time and energy to look through them all, the record is still on file and can certainly be called up if requested, for example by legal authorities). Most such service providers archive their files, and so the chances are that somewhere, there is a record of your browsing history.
This would mean that if you don't want anyone to know where you've been, your only protection is in not going there at all

How about CLEAN CASH V3.2 at [buttuglysoftware.com] It will also clean up [index.dat files] They are tracks hidden on the hard drive. Then there's [index.dat scanner] at [http://www.extramile.ro/index.html] to see if you got em all. Both are free.

Hello Bob, Is it possible to prove that a file presented as a download from a website is a forgery when it was not the source?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm not sure what you are asking. Give an example...?

>

Example : suppose someone claims that file F has been downloaded from www.somesite.com. Is it possible to prove or disprove that claim ?

EDITOR'S NOTE: If the file is on your computer, and someone is claiming that you got it from a certain website, then the only way to prove that would be to match up an entry in the website's server log with the records of your ISP. But chances are you can't get access to either without a court order.

Help, I am using Safari and want to clear the drop down window on Google. I'm using OS-X and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

This was some of the most helpful information I have ever found on the internet! It's easy, effective, and it's free! Everything else I found was some stupid software that took an hour to download, and when it's finished you can't use it utill you pay. Anyways, Thanks!

Two connections:
1)Main location, 2)satellite location (different building)a few miles away. Connected to main location through VPN.
Task bar has two little computers (connections). One is a local one (westell modem in satellite location). I click on the Main Location Connection icon and disconnect. I still have access to internet. Can they see where I've been? I delete all the browser leaves behind (cache, temp files, etc.) When I disconnect the Main Location connection I stop receiving emails (outlook) and don't have access to the Mail Location server files.
Anyone knows if they can still see where I've been online? And no...no that kind of sites ;)

Does or can the ISP keep track of things you wrote on sites? I understand they track what sites you were on, but can they keep anything you wrote or what you viewed?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Everything you enter on a web form, or that appears on a web page as text, passes through your ISP servers. Generally when you fill out a web form, it uses a POST (which does not include the data in the URL) so I doubt if that would be stored by the ISP. Also, on secure (https) forms, the data will be encrypted before it leaves your computer, so that's not a concern.

I've tried the usual method of 'control panel', 'internet options' and clicking on 'clear history' to get the question: "are you sure you want to clear history of visited websites?" When I click 'yes', my history is not cleared. All of the sites are still on the drop-down from the address bar. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

Hey, Is it possible for me to contact my ISP and have them tell me the browsing habits of someone who's on my network? Someone's using the Internet at the office and actually downloaded a porn file... someone's going to have to get fired regardless, and I want to make sure it was the right person. Don't want the innocent guy to take the fall.

Can I have my ISP tell me the time/sites that were being used? Thanks!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe, it depends on their policy. They might ask for a court order -- if they even have the data.
