i know under tools - internet options etc. you can delete cookies, files and history aswell as clear forms etc..

but can these be restored?

lol was using work laptop to do some work and my mate came over and started browsing net on that one.. at some silly pics.. instead of using the personal laptop my bro was using..

CCleaner - Features

Yes: should do the job.

Use the "slim" version as the standard version is bundled with yahoo toolbar (something that serves no useful prupose, clutters up your computer and hogs memory).

Yahoo-free "slim" version is found on the bottom of the page here: CCleaner - Builds

East-tec eraser, its really good software and it will clean all your drives of saved crap as well

if you have admin rights delete your user profile (save any work etc)

and log on again -- it will create a new "clean" one

Just password you pc so your missus can't check your history

The only problem with deleting your user profile, if your not technical enough to "save any work", is that you will lose all of your settings. Your desktop icons, IE favourites, mail profile, email signatures (if you use outlook), your My Documents folder!!

Evidence eliminator, removes all traces of internet history......

Any of the above will do it, make sure it rewrites 7 times and it is very hard to retrieve. Certainly beyond the casual user, and you would have to be accused of something extremely serious for the Police to bother.

Surely that sentence should end with "to bother seizing your computer and installing kiddie **** on it because they don't have any real evidence to make the original charges stick".

Use IE8 and launch an InPrivate session

dpb

why would you want too



best way - throw your hard-drive in the sea id have thought lol

scooblube

Go to start/run type regeit and drop down the following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Delete all the URL1, URL2 etc that you don't want in the address bar drop down list. If you delete only certain keys, make sure that the remaining keys are in renamed in sequential order start from url1. Otherwise you might corrupt your remaining keys.

Hope that helps

The old Gary Glitter question eh

boxst

Nope -- too easily recovered. You have to break the drive into several pieces, burn each one and then dispose of them in different locations.

You may be creating another problem for yourself by installing unlicensed software on your machine for which your company has no license. All you need is already built into windows.

assuming you are using windows XP or Vista

Click Start
Click Run
type cmd

then type the following and press enter

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1

repeat this command replcaing 1 with 2 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 255 / 4351

Job Done.

I would carry out a full AV sweep on the machine as well before putting it near your company network.

I think that dpb was having a little "giggle" regarding the advanced techniques being used by our so-called "intelligence officers"

See El Reg and "Army officer tossed laptops in to the sea"

ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 will clear the browsing history

2 will delete all cookies

8 Will delete temporary internet files

16 will erase all stored form data

32 will delete any locally stored passwords

255 will delete all history, browsing history and typed URLs

4351 is the same as 255 but will delete these from IE add-on tools
