You need to delete your history:

Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Clear History.


Or install TweakUI which has a setting for this (it's controlled by a reg entry).

To disable all AutoComplete settings:

1. From Internet Explorer, choose "Tools" then "Internet Options".
2. From the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, select the "Content" tab.
3. Click the "AutoComplete" button.
4. Uncheck everything.
5. Click the "Clear Forms" button.
6. Click the "Clear Passwords" button.
7. Press "OK" to close the dialog boxes

Are you using IE or AOL's web browser

If AOL go to Setting - Toolbar - untick the Auto Complete
